Do you ever join class reunions?

For some reasons, I haven't joined one. I'd love to meet my old classmates and laugh at how 'big' we've become over the years. There's this bully boy who made my elementary school days miserable whom I want to kick now but he's already a priest. I'd go straight to hell if I ever touch his priestly bully face.
Anyhow, my batchmates from my elementary school held a class reunion a few weeks ago. Facebook updated me with the photos they uploaded and yeah, they aren't cute anymore. I couldn't even recognize a few. Where have all the years gone by?
Then yesterday, one of my friends from the same elementary school announced that she's getting married. I asked who the lucky groom is and she said, "Your seatmate in fifth grade." And I was like, "Really?", thinking long and hard who my 5th grade seatmate was. Then my brain started to register a familiar face of a young, thin boy along with memories of him copying my homework. But of course I didn't say that. Instead I asked, too eagerly and intrudingly, I'm afraid, "When did you become a couple?" She's cool enough to say, "After the class reunion."
There you have it. A grand finale. Whoever said class reunions are terrible?

We have never had one as far as I know. I tried to organize one but could locate only a few classmates and they were far away and so met up for coffee with only one.

I wouldn't know. my mom moved me around so much that I had different schools most all the time.

@sol_cee oh a few times but was always sad when we moved again and we would write sometimes but even that would fall away after a few months etc.

Never been to one though I've been invited several times. The schedule just don't match with mine. I can't imagine you being bullied.
I was never bullied back in the school days and I've never bullied anybody.

@sol_cee I think they were threatened by you, that's why they did that. You're no meek.

@sol_cee it was nice. the college reunion was last year. i did not attend that one. i even made a discussion about this:
This Saturday is the date of the grand reunion of the graduates of Nursing from 1978 to 1983. It is in line with our foundation day (St. Paul’s day) on January...

I hardly ever go, but the one time that I went, I had a very good time, and I enjoyed reconnecting with old friends.

No, I never cared to go back, I most certainly would not marry a one of those people. Seriously I did not date from my own school.
