Ex-sister-in-law has invited me to her wedding - what would you do?

My brother's ex-wife is getting married again and has invited me and my family to her wedding (church and evening do). She lives very close to me and I see her at least once a week and we get on well (she is the mother of my nieces). However, I feel very uncomfortable about going to the wedding (she has even asked if my DD will be a bridesmaid). I don't want to fall out with her by saying we won't come. I really do wish her and her new husband all the happiness in the world but it somehow doesn't feel right for me to go. It's going to be a big church do and there will be lots of people there I see at the school gate everyday. My brother is happy for me to go but he lives locally as well and I just don't want to fuel any village gossip. Help!

I still dont understand you being worried about gossip, its only a wedding. Or are you all famous or something?

What are you afraid of? that people may think you are betraying your brother by attending the wedding of his ex? Honestly, if he doesn't care, you are friends with the bride, are you going to ruin your friendship with the bride to keep the nasty people quiet? I would rather incommodate the nasty than the person you consider your friend.

TBH I think more people would marvel at what a fantastic family you are, who can put their past behind themselves and get on with life.
