    My dad and mom got engaged after dating for like a week. He finishes the story with “but that was my first wife”. They were married until he died.

    If both the bride and groom are divorced, and both have a good sense of humour, I’d go for it

      I bet the Sam bride could fix up a mean rabbit stew, especially with some big yellow taters.

    You know, this was healthy for me to read. Because it shows me just how… Weird… Marriage is.

    Am I going to get married again? Only if they are in a similar economic situation as me. I learned that lesson. Which makes it unlikely. Six figure income, with retirement AND health insurance? I might as well be trying to pick up chicks at a wargaming club, or looking out for sharks in a chlorinated swimming pool.

    But my ex… Well I certainly wouldn’t be invited to the wedding. And if I was, I wouldn’t go. How could I? The whole time I’d be singing “praises” about her red flags, telling the story about what she did to me, how her furure-ex-husband is going to be quite disappointed. Oh and if by chance he has a well earning career, I hope he’s ok with her being entirely dependent and then demanding more.

    And then I’d leave with “all right, see you guys at the next wedding.”

          There was more than one moment in which I’d felt like I’d had everything I’d wanted in life. One with each ex. With the last I’d lost more than I ever thought I could recover from losing but I’m holding onto a sliver of hope that I can find happiness again, and I urge others to do the same. Every moment counts. Happiness is not a destination.

    If I were in the audience you’d be getting a dead-ass cold stare from me. Not a laugh, but after your speech you’re going to be feeling kinda uncomfortable.

    I’d recommend not.

        I’m coming from a place where I’ve heard this joke before. So, for me it just seems like a lack of self awareness.

        I guess it’s funny the first time you hear it.

    Here’s the serious advice: whenever you have to think about it like this, don’t do it.

      I totally agree, but OP should do it anyway. The thought of having missed out on a great joke is so much more haunting than all the disgusted faces they risk seeing at any further event. FR FR
