It’s lovely that you’ve remained on such good terms, I think I might feel the new wife’s family might resent me being there, but if not, then I don’t suppose there’s anything preventing you.
I’m trying to think what it would be like in our family, and I think my daughter may have something to say about it.

I played the organ at a wedding where the groom's ex mother-in-law was a guest. They'd obviously got on well and everyone was quite happy with the idea.

I think it’s lovely you have been invited it just goes to show how much you mean to him. If you don’t feel like going to both of the celebrations just politely make an excuse and go to one.
My biggest regret was not keeping in touch with some of my in laws when I divorced years ago. They were a nice family but it was such a difficult time I just didn’t bother. Hope you decide what to do and go and enjoy yourselves.

What does your daughter think? Would she be upset or hurt? How my daughter felt would be important to me before I made a decision. You don't have to go, you know. It isn't a summons. If you aren't keen then offer your congratulations and say you can't make it.

Some help here please. Our ex Son in law has invited us to his wedding, which is just close family. We have always been very close and supported him as well as our daughter. He new wife to be is lovely and we get on well with her. My problem is that I don’t feel that it’s right to go to the wedding. I feel that it’s a new start for him and that the wedding should just be their parents and siblings and ex in laws. I somehow just don’t feel comfortable going. They are having a blessing a couple of days later and have invited us to that as well as the party after. I would feel more comfortable going to that. What do you think?
