Dear LIB readers: Is it okay for a woman to invite her ex-lovers to her wedding?

Question from a male LIB reader...
A girl who was a bit promiscuous back in university days invited some of her ex-lovers to her wedding who I am aware of. She's doing good for herself in Chevron and her husband works in Mobil. I saw at least four guys she'd been with in the past at the wedding (including myself) and I wondered why she would do that.
I know I wouldn't want that, allow my fiancee's ex-lovers to attend my wedding but I see women think differently about matters like this. It will be nice to know what people think

    2. I see nothing wrong there,, I have a friend who just wedded and invited her ex, he came and after the wedding told me he wished he was marrying her.
      As for me, I told my ex I'll send him invitation for my wedding. So u see, it's no big deal. It's a way of telling them "I hav a new life now".

The guy they invited and he went just wants 2 find out if the geh still likes him so he went and was sad because he saw all the other exes there which puts him back 2 the ordinary person zone. So the girl was promiscous? Ehee nah if u break up with her won't she date another. #troublemaker

  22. Linda women always do this and think men are fools. The always visit even there ex lovers even in marraige

    ReplyDelete
  23. Well, it depends on the kind of relationship that existed between her and those she had something to do with in the past. People invite their ex for different reasons.Either to spite them and make them feel jealous or just plainly because they have allowed that to be in the past and see them presently as platonic "friends" with no strings attached.

  24. It doesn't matter. My own principle is when a wmn gets married she's automatically a saint.

  32. We women don't see it as a big deal because it will make the ex lover to face reality and never disturb but men view it in a different way (as an insult or maybe to make up) , I know they don't find it funny.

  33. Its ok. If she see them as just friends
    There is nothing wrong with that. It shows that, she has a free heart.

  36. Its no biggie that's IF & only IF you're sure u guys parted without grudges.Coz you never can tell what a wounded estranged lover can do on a momentous day like a your wedding.Be guided!

    ReplyDelete
  37. The only thing wrong with it is if her hubby sees somthing wrong with it. If ur hubby says don't invite him then don't invite him , if ur wifey says don't invite her then don't.. Maybe her hubby doesn't know sef. As long as they're happy n faithful guests at a wedding are not the big problem ----C21

    ReplyDelete
  38. Like you said she was a bit promiscious. Now promiscuity leaves one without a conscience. To her you guys were regular people and she was just having fun the way she knew how best to. She sees you guys as friends and no strings attach. Inviting u guys takes nothing from her cos all she knows now is the man she is in love with and married to. So to me there is nothing bad in her descision. My opinion thou!!!

    ReplyDelete
  39. It's very wrong!!! To what purpose will u invite an ex to ur wedding? To me it's like bringing the past into ur future8-t . It doesn't make sense. #myopinionthough

  45. It's not okay especially if the Guy you're getting Married to know Ʊя ex-Lovers. It can create "DisTrust" and the marriage can start having Cracks from there and then.

    ReplyDelete
  46. She wants flaunt the guy she's getting married to. Perhaps in looks and wealth the guy is better telling her exs she has good eyes and she made a good choice after them.

  47. There's really no biggie bou it if she's over them...they could be on a platonic level now...and she myt have invited dem with no bad intentions

  61. This is a story of an unfaithful wife.
    She's bound to regret her adulterous/wayward lifestyle.
    The lady is deceitful.
    If both of them are birds of a feather, they risk health hazards.
    Any relationship built on falsehood, deceit and lies cannot stand.
    Money is not everything. Marital bliss, trust, peace and harmonious relationship which should be the basic bedrock of a union cannot be guaranteed in a home that is fraught with pranks.

  85. Promiscuity is in d blood and it's an habit that requires mt kilmanjaro-type deliverance. Lady in qiuestion wants d best of d future but still dont wamt to let go of d sinful past. This type will quicly turn back to d past once there is any little challenge in d marriage. Its better such kind stay single instead of trying to have d best of two different world.

  86. 0f course..ion see anything wrong, sofar she can invite anyone she pleases to invite!

    ReplyDelete
  87. So what? She's getting married to the man she loves and she invited people. You've already shown from your write up how much you don't like her. You called her promiscuous. You have no right to call somebody's wife that in the first place. What's your reason for attending the wedding? To take roll calls or to celebrate with them? God people are so nosy. Next you'll tell Linda how you were not served food and drink. You are petty, a sadist and a trouble maker. Pls, stay away from them. If that marriage fails, you are responsible. Do you know how many of the husband's exs that also attended the wedding? Busy body die for gutter. I think you're in love with her and stalking her or you're jealous of her success. You know so much about her. Dont tell me you're her friend. No friend do what you just did to a friend. I pray your wedding be filled with your would be's exs. You're so full of shit.

    ReplyDelete
  88. To me as a lady, I would invite my Ex for him to come see wat he has thrown away especially if he is d one dat dump me, but if my Ex invites me to his own wedding,I wouldn't attend..Generally is nt even too advisable bcos one must surely feel bad abt it cos of d bound btw d both of u whether u re married @ d time u re invited or not...

  89. She wants to continue keeping in touch with them in her marriage. Not good.

And I'm looking @ 12 o'clock and smile..... That's my hubby..... That's not a good thing to do. I don't think my ex should be there.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Is like inviting my six ex to my wedding...that's crazy, stupid and disrespectful.

    ReplyDelete
  97. All the people saying that it is acceptable, lol I feel sorry for you, and I pray you don't get caught up in a web of deceit!!! An ex friend of mine got married some years back, she didn't invite her ex, but her husband invited
    a lot of his ex(about 4 in total), after they got married, as soon as she got pregnant, she left for London!!! After giving birth to her son, she stayed back in London, even though she doesn't work, and her husband based in Nigeria is hustling, but he never got to see his son, until the boy was 2 years old: anyway after a period of 6 months she came back to London, where she is claiming 2 different types of benefits!!! She calls her ex, when she needs pampers and stuff for her son, he guy picks her up, takes her to Peckham to buy groceries etc, then they go to his flat, and fuck each other's brains out smh!!! Now she is pregnant with the ex's baby, so what should she tell her husband, who I might add is also committing adultery all over Lagos!!! "Forsaking all others" simply means no ex boyfriend or girlfriend at your wedding, well na una sabi jare!!!Whizman

Women think its nothing but to men it sometimes is a big deal. you are bringing the past into ur future, most women do it because dey want to spite the ex, and den say dey are matured, that to me scream immaturity. besides put yourself in the mans shoes, if it were turned around, would you allow him even smile to his ex talk-less of inviting her to your wedding

I invited the two in my history that I cared for. It never occurred to me that it was a bad thing because I was over them, wished them well, was into having normal conversations with them, and they with me.

  111. But seriously, there is nothing wrong wit it depending on individuals. But I would advise u don't do it. If u ar still friendly wit ur ex, let him give u whatever support he has. Bcos after d wedding comes d watching of d video. Each time u watch, u remember ur past escapades. No real man would agree for his wife to invite her ex to their wedding. And d guys dat sent d story, it's very wrong of u to ve mentioned the two companies.

  114. Ladies always want to eat their cake and have it.. Would you love it if your husband's baby mama came to your wedding, and hugged him to "congratulate" him??
    I'm so sure some of you would have a team of friends to even sieve gifts from them exes and baby mamas just in case something diabolic is in there.

    I don't know sha.. But it is things like this that makes me afraid of all these women.
