Madame on the Street: Would You Attend Your Ex’s Wedding?

April 30th, 2011 - By Veronica Wells

Are you big enough to go to your ex’s wedding without letting your jealousy get the best of you? Would you bring a gift? Would you try to catch the bouquet?

We spoke to some people on the streets of New York to see how they felt about this.

    Wow, this is an interesting question. I once dated a woman that wanted me to accompany her to the wedding of a guy she use to mess with. She was even a part of the wedding. That was something that I personally was not able to overcome. She didn't see an issue. As a young man that's just not something I can handle, and I have no problem admitting to that limitation.

  • hmm

    I understand what she's saying…if you have a child with someone, especially if you guys were married, then there is a sense that you're ALL going to be family. Like fabu78 mentioned going to her ex's wedding because her son was in the wedding….that woman wasn't just marrying that man, she was also taking on the responsibility of being a step Mom to that child, and that means that in some ways she's married to his ex as well.

    But that kind of attendance only works if everyone is on the same page and has a great relationship. In almost every other instance, I think attending the ex's wedding is tacky.

    I went to my ex's wedding. I did go with my boyfriend. If I had been single, I probably would not have attended. Because I did attend the wedding, my ex and I have been able to maintain our friendship. My husband (my wedding date) and I have even gone to dinner with my ex and his wife.
    I think it was a good thing to go because my husband was able to see that the romantic door really had been closed. We saw the wedding, cheered, toasted, and danced at the ex's wedding and dreamed about when it would be our turn.

    If I was still in luv with him I don’t think I can…

    My ex recently invited me to his wedding, telling me he really wanted me to be there. I chose not to go for a few reasons. 1. I am not friends with his fiance. We've never met. 2. He and I have a very long history and are still very good friends, which is awkward enough for his fiance. 3. I just don't think she would really want his exes (who are still in his life even as friends) to attend her/their wedding.
    I just felt it would be awkward, especially since many of his friends and relatives know me and liked me for him. I could definitely see my presence taking some of the focus from the ceremony. I don't want that.

    I co-sign with Hmmm, I didn’t wanna look out into the audience and see a bunch of his exes, and I’m sure my hubby felt the same way. Now if its my child’s father, then thats a different thing…

  • fabu78

    I don't see the big deal. My son was in his father's wedding, and I attended as well as my parents. Took pics with his wife…the whole nine yards. It didn't work out between us, but that's life. I've moved on. His wife treats my son well, and that's all that matters.

  • Dimples

    No, i would not go and did not go; I was actually invited. I didn't think it would be a good idea, because I might interrupt the ceremony by singing Vesta's song . . Congratulations , remember that one?
    Congratulations
    I thought it would have been me
    Standin’ here with you
    Congratulations
    I hope you’re happy

    ‘Cause as long as I can breathe
    You’ll always be the one for me, oh, oh

    Why was I the last to know
    I thought that we were special
    My soul shakes
    My heart breaks
    As I turn and walk away
    I can’t believe it’s over
    We never really said goodbye
    Thought we’d give it one more try
    Felt our love was here to stay
    And now today’s your wedding day

      LOl..too funny but so true

    I SAW THE FUNNIEST THING ON WORLD’S MOST OUTRAGIOUS WEDDINGS. THE BRIDE TO BE INVITED HER FIANCE’S EX . SHE WAS TRYING TO BE A JERK TO THIS WOMEN WHO WAS ALREADY HURT HE’D LEFT HER FOR THIS BROAD. WHEN THE MINISITER ASKED IF ANYONE OBJECTED SHE WENT OFF. I SAID ALL THAT TO SAY DON’T INVITE YOUR EX !

  • Melissa

    Yes I have attended an ex’s wedding. Our relationship was in the past. I can say in all honesty Ive never had a bad break up Im still friends with all of my ex’s. I don’t have a bad thing to say about them, nor they would about me. It just wasn’t meant for us and we both realized that. This doesnt mean we call each other every day, week or whatever it just means a phone call every now and then is welcome. Jealousy is just a form or insecurity, and immaturity to me.

    I don't see a problem with attending your ex's wedding. If you two weren't meant to be with each other then that's fine. I don't see the point in being spiteful and jealous at your ex's wedding. What ever happened to being mature adults?

  • seek2027

    Hell no why should anyone do that?

  • Lauren'Antoinette Browder

    No… I wouldnt… just like one of the women had stated… the past is the past… there is a reason why they are your ex… Its not out of jealousy…
