Also, Mistress of Ceremonies?
Generally, people not invited to weddings, don't do any pre-parties, b/c it's rude to invite them only to pre-parties and not weddings, so I think you're just a bit SOL.
[QUOTE]Okay, I feel like I am being petty here. <strong>It's my third wedding (but first marriage</strong> :) and his first. Neither of my bridesmaids, nor my Mistress of Ceremonies, nor any family members did any celebrating with me because it's my "third time". We are only inviting immediate family because thats what he truly wanted, so my friends are not thrilled that they were not invited so none of them did anything. Since my coworkers were not invited, they don't even discuss it. A future In-law stated that "I didn't want anything" because my schedule didn't work out with hers. So, am I really being petty, or am I allowed to feel kinda hurt about this?

You know we need this story, right? If you have planned three weddings and then something at the last minute happened to the first two, I wouldn't bother planning any pre-wedding parties for you at your third either, dear.
I just a friendly gal looking for options.

Exactly.
And honestly, for a third marriage, I wouldn't expect much. Sad, but true. I'd attend someone's 3rd wedding, but if I had doled money out for gifts twice already? I probably wouldn't be doing it a 3rd time.
Okay then, let me count....ummmm....three weddings and...
marriages. HTH

I'd congratulate you and probably go to the wedding if invited, but I wouldn't be getting you a lavish present if I already did that twice.

You're being petty.
PS I also am not getting any wedding parties. I'm not getting my panties in a wad. It doesn't mean my friends don't love me.

FFS, not everyone puts their real wedding date in their profile. If if she was pregnant and unmarried, it doesn't give you the right to judge her. Especially since you're the one whining about not getting any parties for your third marriage that you aren't inviting anyone to witness. I hope third time's the charm for you.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Nice try.
And for someone who clearly has so little respect for the sanctity of marriage, I don't really think you have a right to judge.
Crap...I Mean Crafts
I feel you are expecting too much from your family and friends and should be realistic that this is your third rodeo and you are not a rookie any more and shouldn't expect a party/shower, etc.
I was married before too. He was an abusive bastard. He did terrible terrible things to me. It doesn't mean I was any less married to him.
Oh. Nobody threw me a party then, either.
