Why not go and have fun......no judgements 

[Spacrazy]

@Trailrun23  Good grief, the whole thing is ridiculous but I would absolutely go and have a blast.

I would go. There's no shame in going to a wedding alone. You may meet some new people that share similar interests.

I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun while supporting your friend at the same time. It's a win, win! 🙂

It sounds like you don't want to go and you have no good wishes for the couple.  Don't go.  The brides mother doesn't need you.  You won't be doing her any favors by going when so obviously don't want to go.  I have no problem at all in attending 2nd and 3rd weddings.  I love weddings.  However, I do adjust the $$ value of the present if I've already given pricey gifts for previous weddings.

😁 Absolutely in agreement. If the second time around isn't a charm, that's all you're getting from me.

Third time +  ......... Just elope and I'll send you a gift card for a Deluxe  Breakfast For Two at Mickey D's. (That's the one that includes coffee with a free refill.)

I see a lot of weddings mentioned here the parents get to or want to invite their friends.

I never heard of this until my youngest daughter was getting married and her mil wanted to invite a lot of people that she wanted with her at the wedding, that my daughter didn't even know.

Is this a more recent decade thing? An always thing? I'd never heard of this before. I mean whos wedding is it? Why do parents need friends or support at a wedding that isn't theirs? I don't get it.

For starters, they would have lost me at black tie.

No, I would not go.

I think that by the time they get to the fifth wedding - or even the third or fourth - they start inviting different people, people who didn't attend the earlier events.

Personally, I'd make every one a small event after the first.

Go and your husband should accompany you. He does not have to wear a tux. I have been to many black tie weddings and many gentlemen just wore dark suits.

it is possible the groom was never married and wants the wedding. Around here we invite the friends of the parents of the bride and groom. I have been to many weddings where I did not know the bride or groom. Weddings are usually fun parties.

It's not your friend's fault her daughter has had multiple marriages so go to support her.
