Just Said Yes July 2019

Uninvited guests

If one of your bridesmaids recently started dating a guy that you (the bride) had a past with, and she wanted to bring him to the wedding, what would you say or do?

    By past, do we mean casual dating where nothing really happened / things never got to THAT point if you know what I mean.. or do you mean a legitimate relationship or person you slept with? No need to tell me because I know that it's personal but if it was not the casual dating where nothing happened I would say NO. It would make you and probably your FH uncomfortable.

    Depends. If it were me, It would depend which guy & Which Past. If it was guy A, heck no, he would ruin it just to be spiteful. If it was guy B? Yeah, I probably wouldn't mind him being there. No reason a past should mean she can't bring him unless the aftermath was truly ugly if you ask me.

    Yeah she shouldn’t have even started dating him. That’s against girl code. 🤦‍♀️ But I wouldn’t want him there either. I would tell her she can come by herself or not come at all. She should understand.

    Thank you ladies! She is aware of my past with him and so is my FH. Obviously we both would feel very uncomfortable with him being there

    Definitely not especially if they’re newly dating.

    Yes you invite him. My husband has been in two of my ex boyfriend’s weddings and I’ve attended both. It’s in the past and they are friends, that’s how we met 🤷🏻‍♀️ For us it was 9 years ago and just not a big deal. It’s a little weird at first but you get over it and respect your friends relationship.

    Also girl code is ridiculous, this isn’t middle school. Your hook up does not make him ineligible to your friends if everyone can just be adults.

    Yep. My best friend of over 20 years is married to one of my exes. I love their love for each other. He just wasn’t the right guy for me. This post is honestly a little ridiculous.

    I’m going to disagree with the majority, you’ve obviously moved on and found someone to spend the rest of your life with. I would just swallow my feelings and be the bigger person and invite him and wish her the best with him.

    I’m gonna ignore that it’s a hook up and just say for the fact that they have been dating for a short amount of time I wouldn’t want them at the wedding, but if they had been dating for years and they actually established a relationship, I would be fine with it. We’re with different people now and we have strong relationship. As long as I know my relationship with my fiancé is strong, I wouldn’t make a deal about it since we have all moved on to better relationships. Though, I wouldn’t let a bridesmaid invite a guest that I have to pay for if they just started dating.
