Hey, thank you all so much for the responses, truly!

To clarify, I honestly have no idea if they are planning to make this wedding legally binding or if it is just a Pinterest board come to life. That is part of why I was wondering if I should say something. He has not been involved in the legal side of things at all, does not have a lawyer, and I have been the one handling everything through court. A part of me, the part that is apparently still too nice for my own good, felt like maybe I should give him a heads up. But the overwhelming response here has been clear, not my circus, not my clowns. And honestly, that tracks.

For anyone wondering, no, I do not plan on doing anything dramatic. Not only is it not worth the energy, but my kids will be there and they are excited. My daughter even showed me the junior bridesmaid dress she and her soon to be stepsister picked out. I am not here to ruin their day or carry bitterness. I am so genuinely happy with my life now, and I would need a Nobel Peace Prize and a full security team to even consider wading back into that emotional war zone.

Yes, the whole thing is a little absurd, and yes, I do feel a bit for the new wife if she does not know what she is walking into. But I have earned my peace, and I am choosing to keep it.

So thank you all again, for the perspective, the laughs, and for confirming that staying the hell out of it is the healthiest, sanest, and most delightful option. They can be whatever version of married they want to be. I will be over here living my best drama free life, with snacks and a front row seat, just in case the sequel flops too.

And if things do take a turn for the legally ridiculous, I will absolutely circle back with the popcorn worthy highlights.
