Exes pose an interesting problem for engaged couples. When a person remains close friends with exes and asks to invite them to the ceremony, his or her future spouse might be prone to feelings of jealousy (which could cause extra, unneeded tension during the wedding planning process). Some argue that exes should be summarily excluded from your wedding no matter what the circumstances, while others contend that you should be allowed to invite all of your close friends regardless of your romantic history with them.

I personally have an ex-boyfriend who is so well integrated into my social circle, I don’t even think of him as a former flame anymore. I think it would be silly to leave him off the guest list, but I’m not so sure my future husband would feel the same way. What do you think? Would you ever invite an ex to your wedding? Under what circumstances? And, if your future spouse invited an ex, would it make you want to rant or rave?
