    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.

    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.

    My dad didn’t have a wedding when he got remarried, but he invited me to be there when the papers were signed. Then he did it without telling me 🤷‍♀️ so “no” I guess. One day he was just like “oh yeah we got married yesterday”…

    Yes. I was almost three years old. I don’t remember much, but I do remember that I started to sing during the wedding ceremony when my parents knelt at the altar. Of course no one else sung.

    I also remember that the priest scared the shit out of me and that my godfather “fell asleep” in the toilet and had to be carried to a car. I learned years later that he had severe social anxiety which he treated with liquor.

    Not their marriage to each other, but I went to my dad’s second wedding, when I was in my twenties. Nice guerrilla ceremony at an art museum

    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.
