Do I go ?

[Migs]

I had a "discussion" with some people yesterday and need a second opinion so have come to you wise people.

I went to my letterbox on Monday and hidden among the bills, bank statements and junk mail was a wedding invitation.  I don't mind a good wedding – a bit of a drink, chicks tend to do themselves up so look ok and people are generally in a good mood.  However, this is my ex girlfriend's wedding and I have a general policy that I don't go to the wedding of anyone I have seen naked, much less lived with.

Is it just me who thinks this way?
Does it make a difference how much water has passed under the bridge ?
Does it make a difference who was the dumper and who was the dumpee ?
Does it matter that I don't have someone more attractive than her to take along.?

AND the groom seems like a decent chap, and from all accounts likes me, but I really don't want to buy him a wedding present.

I have 2 weeks before I need to RSVP.

Personally I would not go, shit kicks off at weddings and funerals, all that booze and family/"friends" shoved together. Would be worried that I would end up brawling, but that's me.....

Of course, If I had a drop dead gorgeous piece of arm candy to take with me.......

It depends on whether you have to bring somebody with you - It's tougher to disappear if you have arm baggage.

If you can go stag, then do it!! A half hour of stuffy discomfort for free booze and tasty eats. Dance with the old ladies for a little bit, get some phone numbers (Or more  ) and haul ass with a full belly.

Life couldn't be better than that!!

I would not go, perhaps neither of you need the tension/drama that might come with that.

Then there is her family and friends-awkward...

Ha, yes.  At her father's funeral last year, her mother introduced me to her aunts and grandmother as the boyfriend ... the guy who is now marrying her was standing about a metre away.  That was awkward.

I suggest enclosing the above sentiment in your R.S.V.P.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo! Move on.

Looks like the noes have it.

As for moving on, I have.  I would also have preferred that they didn't buy a house literally around the corner from me last month.
