Went to my first wedding post separation...

[CleanShirt]

My GOD it was hard.

I am over the moon for my friends (been together over 10 years), and I could mask most of the crying as happiness, but I felt so alone and just kept thinking about my own wedding.

Anyone else felt this? It's another first out of the ay I suppose.

Well done on getting through it. Bet friend appreciated you being there OP. Try to enjoy the evening 'do' and silently congratulate yourself on getting over this hurdle.

I recently did the same
i was happy for them but it brought back memories of how hopeful and naive I was on our wedding day, and also how those “promises” can be empty and can be broken.

I don’t want to be an old cynic!

I felt like that! Unfortunately I've done it twice so any hints of romance I have about marriage are long gone 🙃

Yes the vows cut me a little. I remember stbhx crying as he said his.
