Do you think it's an insult to invite your ex on your wedding day? or is something nice since you've been friends at first before you started a former relationship.....

I can't comment on this as I have only married once and will continue to remain with him, but I am inquisitive to know the answer!

Are you sure you're over this guy? Why would you want to invite him to your wedding???? If your Ex is a true friend, he will not want to come to your wedding. Stop and think for a minute. Put yourself in the shoes of your fiance. How would you like looking at his Ex as you walk down the aisle. Such a lovely reminder! Exes usually get together on special ocassions for the sake of the children. Sometimes they end up in the company of mutual friends. Never at each other's wedding. It's nice that you are friends. God bless you. But please leave him out of your wedding if you love your new husband and want to start out on a good note.

I do not consider it a good thing whatsoever. There's a big difference between a normal friend and an ex, and people will always have a tiny bit of feelings left over for their ex, no matter what. It's just not a good risk to take. I say leave the ex out of it.

I would definitely think so if you are still friends and everything is fine on your partners end. I invited some ex boyfriends of mine to my husbands wedding... and I know we weren't married, but we dated for along time. Also my husband (he is older) had a fiance before we met, and they broke up, but they remained friends. To this day we still invite her to a lot of things we do as a family, because I adore her as well, and she is just like a really close friend to both of us. My husband and I have a very trusting relationship, and we are extremely open about our pasts, and we both try to embrace any past relationships the other has had, because we think they were such an important part of who we are that it is worth it to keep them in our lives. Of course the ones who weren't any good have been weeded out here and there, but many of my husbands girlfriends growing up I talk to on a daily basis!

If I was to be wed, I'd consider my present partner's opinion on it. It's gonna be our best day and I just want it to be ruinned just because I invited someone at my past. For me it's over but I think that the deal about it will be between my ex and my present partner because he might feel insulted having my ex around. You know guys, they have that much ego.

I dont think its an insult and by the way people invite their ex only when they know ex will be happy to attend and both have respect for each other despite growing apart. In India there is a movie star called Aamir Khan who had a divorce with his wife and then went on a relationship with another woman and lived with her with out getting married. Its on record that Aamir Khan ex wife asked him to marry new woman in his life so that children dosent feel uncomfortable and have two homes.

only if your partner wants your ex there. It may be an insult, depending on your situation and how much and openly you've been talking.
