Especially those married more than 5 years. Do you keep in touch and get together with your groomsmen and bridesmaids?

My sister was the only bridesmaid and my wife's brother the only grooms man. We talk to them once every few months.

I keep in touch with all but one of the groomsmen. My wife doesn't really keep in touch with the bridesmaids that much.

One is my sister, so yeah. One is my ex-SIL, so no. The other two are still FB friends, but we aren't close.

Married over 10 years ago.

Maybe 1 or 2 from Mrs Bossier's bridesmaids and my groomsmen. Kids, and life in general get in the way of college and high school friends

Married 35 years. Still keep in touch with all of em. Our relationships have come and go over the years, as some have changed wives, changed stations in life, but yeah, we're still best of friends and now that we've navigated most of the changes that everyone goes through, we're still all close. Want some unsolicited advice? You've got to make this happen. Make a call to your old friend. Send him a funny pic. Make the effort. 35 years later, you'll both be better for it.

Never been married and I am older so I can only answer this as having been in weddings. Out of the 9 or so I have been in I would say I am still close to most. ( Majority have been married over 10 years) however most are from a small town that i still visit often. Maybe one I don't talk to often (more than once every 2 weeks )

Every single person in my party was a relative (on my side at least). Pretty close group of cousins. Even though we don't talk as much, it's at least every few months. Even for the most out of touch.

My wife and I didn't have a wedding party groomsmen and bridesmaids either. I still talk to all the guys who were at the wedding who would qualify as "those guys" very regularly.
What I think your asking here, is yes there are about 25-30 guys from college I still see and talk to regularly (20 yrs later)
