Just think at the 14 year point, she will be on marriage #6.

Does she have kids?

She doesn't have any children. Given her record with marriages, I think that might be a good thing.

If it were me, I would send regrets. My husband would absolutely refuse to attend wedding number three within seven years. This is absurd.

Another point: if you don't intend to stay married - why do it at all? It's really not necessary in order to own property jointly or, at this point and to my dismay, have children.

What church is opening up its doors for a third time or are we jumping parishes?

I was raised Catholic so this wouldn't happen (at least not back in the day) but 3 church weddings in less than a decade?

I would think even the minister at this point would have some pause getting the vows out of his mouth with a straight face.

OP friend daughter is not alone (multiple marriages). Many couples especially the brides want that big wedding to "show off" (and also get into debt), BUT forget about the marriage part. Most weddings don't last these days.

Are some of you forgetting that while guests give gifts, the bride and groom are paying for what will probably be a pricey venue? This can often include champagne and hors d'oeuvres, an open bar, dinner, wedding cake, a dance and ending the night with appetizers. I don't know what the current cost per plate at a wedding like this would cost in the Boston area, but my guess is the bride and groom are not on the take for wedding gifts.

That being said, it really boils down to what is the tasteful thing to do? Were it me on a third wedding in a few years, you might read about it on facebook.😊

I remember my cousin had a very big lavish wedding that cost like 25 thousand dollars in the early 80's. a fair amount of money back then for a wedding. Anyway, she was divorced in 2 years and remarried a year later. My aunt did not give her anything, but her good wishes and we didn't go to the wedding or send a gift.

I can’t imagine needing anything but maybe a gift certificate to a restaurant would be nice and not over the top.

I remarried three years ago and we went to the JOP with our children. None of our family came nor made much of a hoopla nor would I have expected gifts especially since we’d both been married before.

I have a family member who married 3 times in a short period of time starting at about 18. I will say #3 stuck and they are at 20+ years now. I think it was a combination of learning to make better choices, maturity and finally understanding what marriage is about.

Two big weddings and one JOP.
