Friends first and then when she broke up with long term bf, got together with the gay guy. I met him at the rehearsal dinner and immediately said to myself "holy shit, he's gay!", looked at my dh and we both raised our eyebrows to each other but never said a word out loud. I assumed i was being completely rude and non accepting of the modern metrosez
xual until a 70 something aunt told us of the breakup a few month later with the explanation "you know, he has all the makings of a homosexual". Situation got really nasty and crazy, involving pix and texts from a gilted boyfriend of the groom. Husband actually stole brides cell phone to avoid being found out, he didnt really want to be out, bride and mother of the bride were in denial and embarrassed after the fancy expensive wedding (groom was very involved in the fancy details). I wouldnt have believed the crazy story if it didnt happen to my totally normal, educated, well traveled, successfully employed, seemingly stable relatives. You never know.
This totally reminded me of a college friend of DH's who we all suspect is gay. DH actually caught him in bed with a guy at a house party once. When he announced his engagement we were all shocked and of course he went on to fret about every little detail regarding the wedding. He called me up one time for a long conversation about table linens. He even picked his fiancee's wedding dress. No joke.
At the overseas wedding, his long-time buddy (the one DH caught him in bed with) was there and sobbed uncontrollably during the ceremony. It was actually really sad. Interestingly, I think all of his friends/family would completely accept him if he did come out.
