Jade Jagger's Wedding

My son is getting married next year and I was wondering what the etiquette is for divorced parents. I would like my ex and I to be on the top table but what about his wife and my partner? Should they sit together on another table

At D2's wedding last year I had to smile when my ex husband, his wife and her daughter arrived at the reception. Ex wandered off to the bar and came back with one for himself but didn't think to get his wife and her daughter a drink too. She often jokes to me that I know what she has to put up with.

I was at a family wedding Sunday where the brides father had the brides mother his exwife and their family together but the new wife, now also an exwife with their children... they all put on smiles and pretended that all was fine but the strain was showing by the end of the evening... but hats off to them they didn't spoil the wedding.

I don't know about ex-partners being around as I don't have one. Still got hubby number one.

I have to agree about Bianca Jagger though. Hells bells she made Cruella De-Ville look a happier person. Infact, the photos of Jerry Hall, Kate Moss etc., made them all look really scruffy and unkempt. I'm sure they don't give a fig for my thoughts but they did look a mottly crew.

We moved my daughters wedding as far from here as possible and didn't ask her fathers new partner; he just bought his best drinking buddy along and they both got, well, drunk. Moving swiftly forward a few years and his new partner would have been invited. We had no issue with her. Time does heal. I guess. If the wedding was, like, next week I'd be the one not invited . Funny thing, life and families.....

Yes glamma give me peace of mind any day!

Me too glamma, my ex was a millionaire when I left him, but now he's bankrupt!

I would much rather have peace of mind and sanity than anyone's property and inheritance any day when and I'm sure you are the same.

Annobel every time I have to be in the same room as my ex, I also silently celebrate that I no longer have to put up with him and I am puzzled why she still stays around, as his behaviour hasn't changed, in fact it has worsened, judging by her complaints about him perhaps it's his property portfolio and large inheritance? now, now, Carol - don't be a b**ch!

Well, glamma I wasn't thinking that about him... in fact, silently thanking her for taking him off my hands.

Upstaged him ? the cheek of it annobel he was probably looking at you and thinking what he had missed out on.

Mine came to our son's wedding with the second missus. All went well, but he later accused me of having tried to upstage him! Need I say that I hadn't a clue what he was referring to and I'd never have done such a thing. If he felt upstaged, it was entirely in his own tiny mind!
