He Was Invited To His Ex-Girlfriend’s Wedding, But She Spent The Night Before In Jail, And Her Wedding Was Called Off, So He Doesn’t Want To Send A Gift
This guy and his ex-girlfriend dated on and off for over six years. But they eventually split up, he moved on, and he’s now in a relationship with his current girlfriend of eight years.
However, he was still invited to his ex-girlfriend’s wedding– which was pretty shocking to him.
For some context, this is actually his ex’s second wedding, and he was not invited to her first ceremony. He has also never met his ex’s fiancé, and his ex has never met his girlfriend.
Nonetheless, both he and his girlfriend were invited to the second wedding, and he was taken aback upon receiving the invitation.
“I was actually surprised my girlfriend, and I were invited to this one, not because we aren’t on okay terms but more so because I can’t imagine inviting an ex to my own wedding or her husband approving of it,” he explained.
Despite his shock, he still RSVP’ed “yes” and agreed to attend the event with his girlfriend as his plus one.
But then, on the day of his ex’s wedding, absolute mayhem ensued.
It all began when he was on his way out the door, getting ready to head to the venue, when he found out that the wedding was actually canceled.
It turned out that his ex-girlfriend, the bride, had spent the night before in jail. And to make the whole situation even worse, most of the other guests didn’t even find out that the wedding was called off until they were on their way to or arriving at the venue.

On top of all that, he planned to stop on the way to the event to pick up a card and take out cash as his wedding present.
“But on my way out the door, I found out it was canceled,” he said.
And now, in the wake of the canceled nuptials, he has no idea what to do about a wedding gift.
First of all, he has no clue where he would even send a present since he doesn’t know his ex’s address.
“And I know I could reach out for an address, but at this point, I didn’t even go to the wedding, and I don’t usually send gifts to weddings I don’t actually attend,” he vented.
So, he doesn’t really want to send a wedding gift to his ex following the failed wedding, but he also isn’t sure if that makes him a real jerk or not.
Should you always send a wedding gift? Or is it not required in this situation, given the cancelation and the fact that the bride is his ex? What would you do in his shoes?
