You get the invitation in the mail. You are supposed to be mature enough to handle it, but the invitation is to attend the wedding of your ex-girlfriend who is marrying someone else. What the hell do you do? The first thoughts that race through your mind are those of control and jealousy. How could she do this to you? What could she possibly she in that loser guy she has chosen for her husband? Of course, you realize you broke up more than three years ago and both agreed to move on. But why did she move on and fall in love with such a loser dork? After she had you, you thought when it ended she would go in to a nunnery to find herself.
The last thing you expected was for her to leave you to find another guy. OK so what if he is a brilliant scientist, or a doctor, or founded his tech company that is now worth millions and you are on unemployment without a job. How dare her show you what a loser you really are? Who does she think she is? And why did she invite you to her wedding? Out of spite? What the hell is going on?
This scenario has played out more times than any guy can imagine. The reason is simple. Girls (women) want to include you in their happiness especially if you are not part of their happiness. You have a couple of choices. You can blow it off and not attend the wedding or you can make the best of it.
Rule Number 1: If you decide to go, you must never, ever go alone. That is the sign of the complete loser. And you cannot take your mother as your date either. Your choice of date depends entirely on the amount of revenge you wish to extract from the situation. If you broke up with your ex-girlfriend because of mutual reasons or circumstances beyond either of your control and there is no animosity between you, this is a very different scenario than if she left you and broke your heart in the process.
Rule Number 2: Dress like you own the place. The only way to go to any wedding is to dress for success. Go all out in how you dress and go as upscale as possible. Rent the very best tux and hire a chauffeur to drive you and your date.
Rule Number 3: Pick your date that looks as close to your ex-girlfriend as possible. No matter how you broke up, if your date looks like your ex-girlfriend, she will be the one questioning if she made the right choice or not.
Rule Number 4: Focus all your attention on your date. Introduce her to your ex-girlfriend, shake the hand of the groom (her soon to be husband) strongly, and then pay all your attention to your date as if nobody else is there.
The worse that can happen is that your ex-girlfriend in a rage of jealousy attacks your date, knocks her unconscious and leaves the wedding to elope with you. Otherwise you may find, in your date, the partner that you should be with and weddings are the perfect place to find that out.
