    How to handle meeting your fiance's Ex for first time?
    I am going to my fiance's daughter's wedding and of course her mom will be there and a lot of other family relatives that I have never met. I will probably be seeing the relatives on my fiance's side at the reception as well. What is the etiquette on this or how should I be feeling? Just curious

    Well seeing as this is his daughter's wedding and close family, when you are introduced be friendly but not gushing that you were invited. This situation happens all too frequently these days. Seating arrangement and corresponding etiquette has changed because of this. Don't be offended if you are not seated with your fiancé if there has been a wedding planner involved.

    How should you be feeling? Big question, can't input on that, but be happy for the new couple with best wishes for happiness.

    You think to yourself SO WHAT! The wedding is not about the ex and it is not about you. It is about their daughter who I am sure you want to support. So you graciously introduce yourself and smile. That is the best thing you can do in supporting their daughter. Do you have to become best friends with the ex? No. And honestly planning to do something other than being nice is just focusing on negative energy, and who needs that or that drama it will cause?
