FI and I attended the wedding of one of his best friends last night. To me, FI has had a really unique friend experience. He had a group of really close guy friends in high school (nothing to weird about that), and although they all scattered all over the country after hs, and don''t see each other or even talk to each other all that often now, whenever they do get together, it is just like they see each other every day. They seem just as close as they ever were. Of course, there are some of these friends that are more on the outskirts than others. When we were doing our guest list, we pretty much decided that if FI hadn''t talked to them in over a year and did not have a current address, they wouldn''t be invited.

Well...last night, since FI and the groom were in this same group of friends, most of the guys from hs were there. And we quickly realized that all but ONE of them was invited and coming to OUR wedding in three weeks. I''ve heard from the rest of the guys that the one quickly made it known that he wasn''t invited and that he wanted to be. He even basically mentioned it to FI as soon as he saw them. So of course FI did the gracious and panicked thing of saying, oh, we would have loved to invite you, but didn''t have your address. This kid said, well, I''ll be in town that weekend, and so will my girlfriend. So now we have 2 extra people coming to our wedding, and had to hang out with this kid all night with him being aware that he was the only one of the people at that wedding that we hadn''t invited.
 
In this case, I think you did the right thing by inviting them. Sucks, I know, but not worth the degree of hurt feelings that would have come about otherwise.

That would be awkward. It sounds a though you partner made a smooth recovery about it though!
 
Wow that is awkward. I have a feeling this going to happen with my FI''s friends to a degree over the wedding party. I am mad at most of them right now and so is he (yet he still talks to them sometimes), so we''re going to have one as opposed to all of them in the wedding party. Let''s see how that goes.

Anyway, I think you handled it very well.
 
Wow sorry about the extra guests. But I do think your FI said the right thing. It also sounds like now that he is invited, there won''t be any hard feelings and it won''t make your wedding awkward. I sounds to me that he just really wanted to be there and now that he is invited he should be happy.
 
I think that your fiance handled it very well.
 
Smooth recovery by your fiance! He did exactly the right thing, it sounds like!
 
Sabine, I''m not sure if you want this guy at your wedding or not. If you really don''t care either way (except for the expense), then you guys handled the situation okay. If you *don''t* want him there... that''s a sticky situation. I don''t think there''s away to avoid him being there. The other HS guys might have already told him the date, location & time of the wedding (although they *really* shouldn''t have), since it sounds like he already knows all about it.
 
I think that your fiance handled the situation well! That must have been so awkward at the time though!
