I can't believe it, but today I got an engraved, formal wedding invitation to a friend's daughter's wedding who is getting married for the 5th time! It sounds like it is going to be quite the event. It is black tie and will be in early October at a resort. I think the guy she is marrying is wealthy, so hopefully my friend isn't paying for any of this. Her daughter is about 40 now, so I amazed this is still going on. Would you go? DH has already said if he has to wear his tux, he is out, so I would probably have to go alone. I am trying to talk myself into going, and I feel bad for my friend if no one she knows attends. She is divorced so don't know if her ex will be part of this or not.

If it’s a good friend, yes.

I wouldn’t base my decision on the fact that it’s the 5th wedding, which I assume is what you are asking.

OMG! The wedding sounds like it's going to be beautiful, go and have a great time!

BTW, did you attend the first four weddings? This might be the one.

Maybe it's the grooms 1st marriage. Either way, I would go in a heartbeat no matter how many times the person has been married.

I personally would not go. Sounds like this woman either picks the wrong husbands or is a real loser. But she obviously likes weddings! LOL.Maybe she collects alimony funds. You can use the excuse you are going to be out of town during that date. Or just unavailable if your friend asks. Are you close friends with the daughter? Seems strange she is inviting her mothers friends at her age and number of marriages.

However, if you decide to go, enjoy and give her a GOOD LUCK card and the groom a condolence card. LOL

No, I wouldn't go. Enough is enough. After the second marriage, they become a farce.

I would definitely go to the wedding. It sounds like it will be a fun party. You never know the fifth one might be the charm. I am wondering if they will use the til death do us part in the wedding vows.😍
