[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, thanks for the response.

I like the suggestion to be polite and then excuse myself for the bathroom/bar/anywhere else -- keeping it short will help me. I would prefer not to ask "how are the kids" because I really do not want to get drawn into a conversation. Maybe just "nice to see you" which is polite but not actually a question (though definitely a lie). I don't know. I see the argument against ignoring them but I am really struggling with this.

I really hope we don't get stuck near them for a long time. I don't know the bride and groom well enough to ask that we not be seated at the same table. I really hope we are not! Ugh, I'm dreading this. Maybe I can get out of it.[/quote]
I think you're likely being overdramatic.  If it's been several years since you have been friends with these people AND you gave them the slow fade, they're probably not dying to spend all night chatting you up either.  Hopefully you guys can politely acknowledge each other and then move on your separate ways.  Good luck, I hope it's ok![/quote]
