would you invite someone you hooked up with to your wedding?

soo in high school I had a tight group of friends, all of them are for sure invited to the wedding (we are only 24, so high school wasn't super long ago and most of us remain fairly close) except one, he's a maybe. one friend got married at about 20, not long after I had broken up with a bf of 3...

Soo in high school I had a tight group of friends, all of them are for sure invited to the wedding (we are only 24, so high school wasn't super long ago and most of us remain fairly close) except one, he's a maybe.

one friend got married at about 20, not long after I had broken up with a bf of 3 years. essentially, a groomsman (who was recently out of a relationship also) and I ended up drinking and talking together all night and slept together. we talked about it briefly the next day and a few days later and nothing ever came of it. we're still friends (not super close), but it's not weird. here's the thing though, I have never told fh that this guy and I slept together, just like he hasn't named off every girl he's slept with. so what should I do. not invite him? invite him and still not tell fh? I would like for him to be there since everyone else from the group will be and when I went and saw the married couple last weekend, said groomsmen was over and we talked about the wedding

    I have a feeling OP is inviting the old hook-up (and knew that when she asked for opinions). For the record, I'm with the majority of posters. Running into exes is uncomfortable -- at least for me, and those exes were over 30 years ago. Unless the ex was married to someone very close to me, he wouldn't have made it onto the guest list in the first place.

    I'm so sad that I missed this post yesterday:/

    Somewhere on another wedding website is randi's future ex husband asking if he should tell his future wife that half of her bridemaids are people he hooked up with...no respect.

    Am I the only one who's FH doesn't want to hear about their previous partners? Seriously, he'd rather have his toenails pulled out with pliers than listen to me talk about having sex with another man. We are not spring chickens, and both of us had our share of sexual experiences before we met (him more than me, but I'm no puritan) and when our sexual past comes up, even in jest, he is painfully uncomfortable. I know OP left long ago, but I'd make that decision on my own. The only thing it would do in my relationship is cause drama or discomfort.

    @Lightbluegem I don't like talking about it with FH and i really don't see why we should. We both aren't friends with any of our exs but i think we have it a little easier becasue we were friends before we dated and we already knew who dated who.

    DH slept with one of my bridesmaids many moons ago (we actually met through her, ha!)

    My issue wouldn't be inviting the ex. It would be the fact that OP was/is not sure and has kept it from FH. DH doesn't know about every single guy I have ever done anything with. But if he is ever in a position where they are in one way or another, a part of our lives or circle of friends, he knows (and vice versa) because that's only fair. He should have the option of whether or not he is comfortable with that (and with them being around, period)
