I totally agree, but OP should do it anyway. The thought of having missed out on a great joke is so much more haunting than all the disgusted faces they risk seeing at any further event. FR FR
Getting hard to find good sense of humor. Everyone’s afraid of offending someone. I tend to avoid environments where I feel like I’m walking on eggshells. In short, I wouldn’t want to attend a wedding in which such humor is unacceptable.
You know, this was healthy for me to read. Because it shows me just how... Weird... Marriage is.
Am I going to get married again? Only if they are in a similar economic situation as me. I learned that lesson. Which makes it unlikely. Six figure income, with retirement AND health insurance? I might as well be trying to pick up chicks at a wargaming club, or looking out for sharks in a chlorinated swimming pool.
But my ex... Well I certainly wouldn't be invited to the wedding. And if I was, I wouldn't go. How could I? The whole time I'd be singing "praises" about her red flags, telling the story about what she did to me, how her furure-ex-husband is going to be quite disappointed. Oh and if by chance he has a well earning career, I hope he's ok with her being entirely dependent and then demanding more.
And then I'd leave with "all right, see you guys at the next wedding."
There was more than one moment in which I'd felt like I'd had everything I'd wanted in life. One with each ex. With the last I'd lost more than I ever thought I could recover from losing but I'm holding onto a sliver of hope that I can find happiness again, and I urge others to do the same. Every moment counts. Happiness is not a destination.

“Some of you will remember my jokes from last time, please don’t spoil them for the first timers.”

Here's the serious advice: whenever you have to think about it like this, don't do it.

If they can take the joke then why not? Just don't overdo it. Once is enough.

Yeah IMO more than once would get awkward real fast

You for sure have to clear that joke with the couple first. Personally I would find it hilarious.
moakley@lemmy.world · 39 pts · 1y
I'd clear it with the couple. It's their day.

End with "see you next time".

My dad and mom got engaged after dating for like a week. He finishes the story with "but that was my first wife". They were married until he died.

If both the bride and groom are divorced, and both have a good sense of humour, I'd go for it

If it's the Sam bride then absolutely.
Hylactor@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 1y
I bet the Sam bride could fix up a mean rabbit stew, especially with some big yellow taters.

Only if both spouses were previously married, and you ask first. With the right crowd, that's a howler.
