I'm about to go to our 10th year HS reunion this weekend and I have to admit I am nervous. My husband's aunt is one of the organizers and I like to support her but I'm anxious because I don't know who else is going. I studied in an all-girls private school so even if husbands are invited to the reunions, he feels I'll enjoy better catching up with old friends without having to worry about him, haha .... How about you guys?

I love going to my high school reunions. For my 10th just my girlfriends and I went together. We left the husbands home. The reason was because we figured that they wouldn't know anyone and we would have more fun catching up with our friends rather than having to make our husbands feel comfortable. For our 15th, we brought the husbands with us. They became friends by then with each other, so they hung out together and then the girls mingled with all our former classmates. I didn't get to my 20th reunion, but for the 25th it was again a blast. We left the men home again so we wouldn't have to feel like we had to talk with them instead of catching up. You will have fun! Just go and find your old friends.

Yes, we have a high school alumni homecoming/reunion every September usually organized by the 25 year old batches. We all meet up in our old high school gymnasium and meet our friends and teachers. The atmosphere is usually lighter to cater to all ages so we can relax while we catch up with others about their lives. I keep on looking forward to seeing them. It's the only time we can meet each other since we've gone through separate paths and careers. Such a fun experience.

I just went to a class reunion last month. It was very nice and I enjoyed reaquainting with people I have not seen in a while. My husband went with me, and he enjoyed watching me enjoy myself. Of course he wouldn't know any of my class mates, but it was nice that he wanted to escort me to the event. I am sure you will have a very nice time, there is nothing to be nervous about.

I have went to one. It was better than I expected. But, I will probably NOT go to another one. Overall, it is just not my thing. I am very introverted and quiet and shy. I just don't like being around large groups of people for that long! So, it was fun to do once. But, I will probably not do it ever again. :)

High school reunion for me is fun. It's a tradition. Reunion keeps me updated on what is going on with my good old friends. But it's sad because next year, we will not be complete anymore. Some of my friends migrated to different countries.
