Ex getting married part 2!

Have been feeling a bit better as the week went on (I found out last week that ex is to get married and DD to be bridesmaid-felt gutted). However, have taken a turn for the worse again today as DD came back from his full of stuff about bloody dresses and GF's mum taking her shopping to choose outfit. Aaaaaagh! I DO NOT want to hear it. There's something SO hurtful and in sensitive about asking DD to be bridesmaid and GF's family all wading in. I know she is his daughter too and of course she wants to be bridesmaid but has not one of them considered how I might feel???? Am going to scream!!

MM - You are scary!!!!

I said it's a plan, not a definite thing

It's a lovely thought though... I'll probably just go with shredding any invitations myself and/or the kids get and send them to her by registered post so she definitely gets it

Nah, don't agree about the funeral flowers - far better to get a lovely bouquet for yourself!!!

Mind you, I suppose if you were feeling flush, you could get one of those little planes to do a fly past with a big banner attached to the back of it (do you know what I mean?) - Words / slogan of your choice!!

A banner would be fab! I can think of a few choice ideas for the wording on it. Imagine their faces......

Banner is nice, but not guaranteed to be noticed. Strippagram to the church/reception? How about hiring an actor to do a piece in the 'if anybody has any cause or reason...' part of the ceremony?

I'm on a roll, forgive me:

Hire any advertising space near the venues. Have great big posters made up with the mugs of the ex and the whore and something entirely inappropriate (but true, wouldn't want to be sued now) as a tag-line?

Lovely ideas but please don;t take them seriously - do not lower yourself, you are worth more than that.

However nothing to stop you thinking of lots of lovely ways you could ruin the wedding if you wanted to!

No no no don't worry, am enjoying the fantasy!! I might see if I can ralley all the women he has had affairs with to turn up not tomention those he cheated on...me, ex Gf before that and th eone before that.WE could offer to be bridesmaids! I'm really feeling better now.

Do you know what I think would be really funny....

re-decorate the 'going away' car..... With a few of your own personal slogans / messages......

I think that would be funny because (i) it's at the end of the night so, even if they were expecting anything, they'd have probably relaxed by then and (ii) it's the last thing everyone would remember!!!

Ohh... that's a bad thought (ANd I'm a second wife!! )

I never thought of myself as vengeful BUT.......
