AYG?

Ok, this is a crossboard flame, but I flame the MrsG and the other posters for trying to tell the OP that she must have serious insecurity issues or not trust her FI since she was uncomfortable with his female friend/former FWB coming to the wedding. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't want DH's former fuuckbuddy who was unhappy about our engagement to come to our wedding, either.

This bugged me too. If you don't vote, don't complain about the government. You had your chance to participate, and you didn't bother to educate yourself.

No, it's just... I don't even know how to respond. I'm not going to bother, I guess, because there's really no rational annoyance.

Yeah, no.  Ex-fuckbuddies who are upset about the engagement do not need to be invited.  It's one thing if it was years ago and they've both obviously moved on.  It's another thing if one of them clearly isn't over it.

I think honeymoon registries are tacky as shiit. I mean, do one if you want, but don't put it in your invitation. Unless you're also tacky enough to think 'cash gifts please!" is ok, too.

Well, invitations with registry information generally annoys many people :) Unless they live here, in which case people seriously don't think you've registered if it's not in the invitation.

I read very few of them. I don't understand american politics enough to take part or know what's going on. If its something I am vaguely aware of, ill read it but most of them I don't.

Exactly. It would be one thing if it was an ex who I'd gotten I know and who had made an effort to get to know me. This is a whole different can of worms.

Her FI also said he'd resent the OP forever if she didn't want the ex to come. He later took it back, but still pretty crappy.

That is pretty shitty.

My H has an ex he dated years ago (we're talking like 3 years before we started dating, and he dumped her when he caught her sleeping around).  She's still friends with all of his college friends, though, and the two of them try to stay on good terms with each other.  When I was first introduced to her, she was a total bitchface to me.  I only talked to her twice before the wedding and she acted like that both times.  I told H right from the start that I didn't want her invited, and he didn't give me shiit about it.

 After the wedding I met up with her again and she has definitely stopped acting that way, and we get along fine now on the rare occasions that we're all together in a group.  But I have no regrets about putting my foot down about inviting her.

I took one a few weeks ago that had Obama as my 2nd pick. I'm kind of surprised I didn't spontaneously combust. I'm also a little ashamed to admit it. I felt like a little kid that got in trouble, my mind went into "I don't know how this happened. I swear I didn't do it. It must be a mistake."

Blueyed228

H's ex-gf thought she was going to be invited to our wedding.  Even though he had not talked to her in about 4 years.  I am friends with one of her friends and she told me the ex was pretty devastated about not being invited.

It was super weird.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Haha I'm the exact opposite.  After our wedding I got pretty relaxed about etiquette.  I mean, there are obvious things that are etiquette tragedies but I don't care about honeymoon registries, dollar dances or head tables.  Whatever.

I can understand why some people aren't super interested in politics, but don't you at least want to know wtf is going on in your country and whotf could potentially be your leader?? Or are people just really that apathetic?

midgetthemighty

One of my exes is being invited, but we dated like 5 years ago and have been friends pretty much ever since we broke up. No way in heck is my most recent, emotionally abusive and controlling, ex invited. That poster shouldn't feel pressured to invite that ex to the wedding.

I can be pretty apathetic sometimes.  I mean, I care, and I vote, but I know in a few years it will all change anyway.  People start their campaigns almost immediately after elections are over these days.

dmiller9274

I don't give a rats ass about wedding etiquette. I didn't before my wedding and I don't now. If I'm going to a party to celebrate a huge life event for one of my friends, it's not really going to bother me if I have to pay for a drink or GOD FORBID pay my friend a dollar to dance with them. It's a fucking party, relax your slacks and have a good time.

That being said, I think the only pearl clutch at my wedding was we had a head table. Michael really wanted one so we did it.
