[quote=Anonymous]I had a very short-lived first marriage.  The wedding was considered a blowout and all my friends participated.  5 years later, when I married my current husband, I was worried about the perception of having yet another wedding.  But it was a big deal to my husband.  He had been in all of his friends' and family members' weddings and he wanted the party.  His parents, who were quite understanding of my divorced status, were also looking to host their friends and family for a wedding.  I gave in and we had another blowout.

Very few of my family members attended, in protest, which was too bad, but I couldn't get upset about that.  My good friends did accept my invitation to be a bridesmaid again and they were good sports about everything.  I think it was understood that my fiancé deserved a wedding and my previous mistake shouldn't be held against him and his family, who were all ecstatic to see his wedding.

OP, you could decline being a bridesmaid but if you're going to the wedding anyway, that will just make you look petty.  There could be plenty of reasons that you don't know about as to why she's having another wedding.   [/quote]
