To address the original question, I went to a wedding in OK three years back. The groom was one of my nephews from my ex-wife's side of the family (thought it was interesting that they invited me, but not her). Anyway, I got one look at the bride and quickly surmised they weren't going to be together long. He was skinny as a rail. She was at least 100 lbs overweight, had trashy tats all over her, wore a sleeveless gown and sounded like Miss Piggy. The only thing missing was the curly tail in the back. They did their own vows. He promised her everything. She didn't promise him a goddamned thing. On the way out, I gave the groom's father the name and address of a good divorce lawyer just in case. The groom's parents weren't real wild about this wedding either. When I asked my son what his cousin was thinking, he indicated that the kid hadn't had much luck with women and thought this was as good as he could do. Divorce proceedings started ten months later.

I recall you bemoaning your ex-wife's adultery not long ago. You told us how your kids would be delivered the Private Investigator's evidence that mommy went slumming to break up the family-- and you're here talking mental health and normal sexuality. As a clinician, of course.

It is so easy to hide behind a user name and sling shite. I don't think you would be saying that to my face. Everyone is human and everyone has tragedies. Without the full picture, you don't have a clue.

I went to one of the most joyless wedding ever last year. No one was happy. The parents each hated the groom/bride. It was just so awkward.


My first wedding was like this. I knocked up one of my welfare patients just a couple months out of dental school, and did the "honorable" thing and married her. I had an elaborate wedding at St. Joseph Church (huge old church on Tulane Ave. in New Orleans, longest aisle in the city, had trumpet players in the balcony, etc.). My parents were in the front row, and in my wedding video it looks like my mom is being tortured - she is just BAWLING her eyes out through the entire wedding like a cop just shot her dog. She spent the whole night telling all of my friends what a whore my bride was. Like they didn't know already. The marriage lasted a year and set off nearly a decade of hell and custody battles, etc., but it is kind of funny to look back on.

I certainly have. I attended a ceremony where the couple ended up not being married at all due to some bullshite technicality. I saw it with my own eyes, but yes. It indeed was a complete farce.

My buddy was home on leave from Iraq. They were scheduled to get married towards the end of his leave. He didn't know his exact leave dates when they planned it. So they got married shortly after getting off the plane and still had the big wedding a week or so after. Only his closest friends knew that it was only for show. It was literally a farce. We call it the faux-wedding.


If this counts then my sister had a "fake" wedding. A few months before her wedding date our father had a serious medical situation. He wouldn't have been able to make it to the planned wedding, so they got married in the hospital chapel a couple of days before the planned wedding so that he could be there. That was important to my sister. Then they had the wedding that they had been planning a couple of days later.

Let's go this route. My wife was the one who was unfaithful and lost a very comfortable lifestyle due to it. She also had to explain her behavior to our children. I stood there and made sure she admitted to them it was her fault. Thereafter, I filed for divorce and got enough lawyer to make sure all she got was her clothes, a vehicle, and some cash. I kept everything else and made her surrender full custody of the kids in return for not giving her aged parents a copy of the PI report. My kids will each got a copy of said report upon the execution of my will. Her selfishness destroyed a home and disrupted three other lives. She is now living a lot more humble in another state.

I've been the third wheel in one of these, except I was the bride's side project

she all but knew he was gay, but was in deep with his family and OH YEAH he was very loaded.

so, she took the vowes a few months ago. got the new lexus SUV, about 2.5k ring, and a honeymoon in Bora Bora.


Why would you screw your sister?

damnedoldtiger is at least half woman.

He did as much damage to the children as she did and likely way more.

Laughable. His selfishness is worse

Actually a lot happened since the original post on the divorce. Anyone who has been through a divorce with a cheating ex will attest to the anger that can occur over it. The kids did find out on their own about their mother through other sources. From their accounts, the confrontation with their mother afterwards was not pleasant. The part that spooked me a bit was their telling me about her already discussing plans after her current guy dies. I actually feel for the poor bastard. As for me, I am steadily gaining more closure and yes, with time anger does have a way of subsiding. The thing that is puzzling is that she has become nothing like the person I knew for almost 30 years. So as time goes on, there is actually a sense of relief.

I would go just to see if some fireworks pop off. Maybe hire an actor to come in at the objection portion and act like his gay lover who objects to the marriage. It could get funny. Or really awkward.

This wedding doesn't sound like a farce to me. It sounds like two people who are WAY more honest with each other than 99% of other marrieds are.

I'm sorry that your two friends don't frick as much as you'd like them to.
