Aw, what a nice story . . . . Of course, like the newly pregnant woman who can't help but see pregnant women everywhere she looks, I now have weddings on the brain - I've discovered I can't even escape wedding planning on LJ, or at the movies (a terribly wasted 2 hours, 45 minutes at Pirates of the Caribbean, End of the World Sunday evening) . . . ack! Will September 23 ever arrive?!
Glad you liked. It was something that went better than I'd expected. If nothing else, I can now say I've been to the wedding of an ex, and it was an overall quite enjoyable experience.
I understand about not being able to get away from it, either. The same seemed to happen to me when we were planning our wedding. The day'll come; trust me.
Yes - that'll be one day after ours - with no more wedding planning! On the upside a the -3 month mark, everything is paid for, and there will be no wedding or honeymoon debt - hurray!
It is kinda strange introducing people who you've had prior relationships with but are still friends. For example, James. Instead of calling him my ex-husband, I usually call him my friend.
I can definitely see that. If nothing else, it means you don't have to go through the whole history each time you introduce someone, or have them wondering if they're supposed to "pick sides" or some silly shit like that. I can definitely see a need-to-know status on that!
Well, the last wedding that I attended was mine. The one prior to that by a couple of years was my ex-girlfriend, I was the photographer, and she's now buying my condo. I've moved her three times over the last decade.
Interesting about her buying your condo and having helped her move. Proof, I guess, that people can split up and still be on at least relatively good terms afterward.
I started dating her about 10 years ago. We got along very well, got really close really quick emotionally, and the sex was unbelievable! But long-term our personalities just didn't work out. I broke up with her twice, we got back together twice. She started dating other people and eventually re-married (she was married and divorced prior to meeting me). That lasted about 8 months. I should have stepped in and told her she was going waaay too fast -- they were married within 3 months of meeting, but I didn't feel it was my place.
Oh, well.
But we're still good friends and recognize that we're much better off having not married each other.
Funny thing is, my best friend (short of my wife) is also an ex-girlfriend and she was the best man at my wedding! I would have been Michelle's best man (the one buying my condo) but she needed a photographer.
