7 Reasons Why You Should Attend the Wedding of Your Ex- Debunking Why You Shouldn’t!

1.  It’s nothing to do with Self-Respect- You don’t have any self-respect when you go to your ex’s wedding uninvited. But if you are invited then it is like making the full use of the opportunity to prove yourself why you are in fact the most awesome ex of this 21^st Century, a century filled with egoistic people.
2. It teaches you Self-Control- In your greeting card, you will be tempted to write long mushy note narrating how painful your breakup was. Taylor Swift and Elton John might applaud it but no, you are not going to write about the post-traumatic medicine you had after the split. I mean, you will refrain yourself from narrating all the Civil War romance crap you had. You are going to keep it short and sweet. Hence, this is pure self-control.
3. It will teach you how to be Polite- Now listen, there will be people or at least one person who would ask you, how do you know the groom/bride? Well if the truth is, you met at a party and had one night stand but he/she was like professional porn star which hit you like butter cake and milk so you started dating but you broke up and you are the pathetic ex on his/her wedding. Are you that uncivilized and brute to give all these factual details? This is not even honesty, this is a pure revenge monologue. Hence, you will be utterly polite and with a smile, reply, we were college friends or we became friends through a mutual friend.
   
4. It will teach you how to Act- Maybe it was your lifelong dream to act at an international level or national level or regional level or state level movie, but you never got the opportunity. This is the perfect opportunity to do so. Inside you may want to kill your ex for the car loan whose EMI you are paying till date, you might still love him/her, want him/her but it is her/his wedding so you are too classy to ruin their wedding. Hence, you will act as if you are at your best self. You will act natural, congratulate and compliment them, but you won’t act super happy because it will look fake and forced, one of the reasons why you never made it into movies. 
5. It is the perfect time for Forgiving- Revenge mind is on your mind. You might have planned out a strategy to wear a dress/ suit to kill, look smoking hot, overshadow the bride/ groom, bring a date more handsome or beautiful than your ex, greet the nuptials in a condescending way, present them a gift which will ruin their mood for the next six months, be overly affectionate to your would not be in-laws, these and many more. But here is the bottom-line, your ex is an ex for a reason. Modern day economists say, forgiveness is important as revenge is expensive and in a world governed by untimely inflation, this mantra works fine.
   
6. The lady luck might just shine on You- Although I do not seem to remember there are numerous Bollywood movies were the two rejected lovers of the two main leads end up together. I mean, if your ex’s groom/ bride’s ex who is sexy and single comes to attend the wedding like you did then this is a completely happy ending. Or there might be guests looking for love, short term, long term depending on your preference, we never know. The wedding is one of the oldest dating sites, even before there were websites of such kind. And they say, when you do not find love, love finds you. Hence, attending your ex’s wedding is not a bad idea. Even if you do not meet someone of your taste, the food obvious will be of some help.
7.  It might help you to plan your future Wedding- Every experience is a lesson in itself which includes the wedding of your ex. The theme of the wedding which did not go along with the specific season, the wedding feast which was high on carbohydrates, a wedding venue with no washroom etc. What do you learn from all these mishaps? You should be better prepared for yours. There can never be a perfect wedding, there can be perfect wedding photo editing but never a perfect wedding. We always learn a thing or two from every wedding. And there you have a bonus!
