    My dad got remarried but I didn’t attend that. Didn’t see any point in honoring a ceremony that he already proved is meaningless.

    In China where my parents are from, people aren’t supposed to have sex before marriage, so I couldn’t possibly have been conceived before the marriage/wedding. Typical conservatism lol

    (Btw porn is illegal in like many area of the world, westerners are lucky to be able to enjoy… content… 🤭)

    Well, no, but in a sense, I kind of was. The ovum already existed and had for <mother’s age at the time> years, but the exact sperm did not. I came along too much later for that to have been possible. But my DNA was all there. Just not assembled in the right order yet.

    Alternatively, if you believe in reincarnation, I still might have been. I have at least one relative who was there who didn’t make it to my birth. Maybe I’m one of them come back.

    If that was a conscious choice, that may have been a mistake, but that’s another story.

    Yes, I’m the firstborn, but I was oneish when they got married, so I’m a bastard 😃

    Also attended my mum’s second wedding, about 7 years after her divorce from my dad. My mum and stepdad are still married 🥰

    I was 3 when I attended my parents’ wedding. I guess I should note not my dad and birth mom.

    I met my birth mom many years later. She stressed how she and my dad were briefly married when I was born, so I wasn’t a bastard, and that she gave birth in FL, not MI — the only home I remembered — so I wasn’t a damn Yankee. Like she did me some kindness in both those cases.

    That was the attitude that led me to be quite happy with my circumstances — acting like I was in her debt over things I had no care over. So yeah, I attended the wedding of my dad and the only woman I’ll ever call mom.

          Jesus jumped up christ!!! What a glutton for punishment! I can not even fathom that… I was married once, and after my divorce, I thought “I will never do that again.”

          My ex and I continued to co-parent, she got engaged and pregnant, then they split up. We continued to coparent, qnd eventually she came to me and confessed undying love to me and begged to get back together.

          I told her we could try and work things out, but I would never get married again. So we tried and lo and behold a few months later she was pregnant with someome elses child.

          Needless to say, each time she has begged to get back together in the 8 years since her 3rd child, i have declined.

          I cant imagine marrying and divorcing her 3 MORE TIMES!

    I was around 20 years too late.

    They didn’t attend mine either, as it happens, on the grounds that they too were “late” by then.

    No…? But I did the math correctly, and for a certain interpretation of “attend”, I am a day too late.
