Well, the fact that his fiancee does not want his exgirlfriend (who happens to be his best buddy now) at the wedding party... some women consider it a taboo to make exes as part of the wedding, since they consider exes as "ghosts of the past"... so I can see why the fiancee does not want any "ghosts" to be present at the one day that symbolizes their union.
I can kinda see that, but I don't think it would make a difference if they were exes or not. Funny enough, she had no problem with his best female friend being at the bachelor party, as she felt more comfortable with her being there to keep an eye on him.
Ha ha ha.. I've been in a few of those. Ugh.. What a waste of money on a bridesmaid dress! I've been in four different weddings before I was 21. Only one of those marriages still remain. Two of the others were in the divorce process before their one year anniversary and the other couple stuck it out for three years before they finally gave in and divorced so that they wouldn't kill each other..literally!
If only the happy couple could see it from our eyes!

Ok, now THAT doesn't make sense. If she was comfortable w/ the ex (now best friend of the groom) being at the bachelor party, why not at the wedding party as well? I mean, if I were to rise to her level of possessiveness, I would be more UNcomfortable of the ex/ his best friend being at the bachelor party (where "naughty things" could happen) versus at the wedding party, where all are supposed to act civil and formal. Boy, some brides don't think straight!
As I said in an earlier post, the number of bridesmaids/groomsmen is inversely proportional to the marriage's odds for success.
Likewise, the younger the couple marries, the earlier the marriage dies.
The summer after I graduated college, I went to twelve different weddings. Eleven ended in divorce and the one remaining one ain't so steady. Meanwhile, the couples that married in their late 20s and early 30s seem to mostly be doing fine.
We have tried to include her. She's not very receptive and we have to accept that. Beyind this wedding, it is his problem. He has to be the one to stand his ground. We'll just take him when we can get him.
I hope there will be liquor there. We're all going to need it.
LOL I understand...just wanted to point out to you that the friends(you) and the wife are pulling him in different directions and what will most likely happen is the wife will win because you guys cant compete with her that is until the marriage is over...but it may never be over...some guys needs a boss as a wife

I have a theory about that...the larger the number of bridesmaids and groomsman, the smaller the odds that the marriage will actually last. For experience has show that, in these kinds of weddings, everyone was so consumed with planning the wedding that they forgot what would happen the day after the new couple returned from the honeymoon.
I don't think there's a correlation. The divorce rate is just too high...there's just no way that they all had extravagant weddings.
I know plenty of people who had small, modest weddings (or ran off to get married) and their marriage was unsuccessful.
