HDH and I are in a wedding next weekend. He's known the groom for about 7 years.

The couple was dating (read: screwing) while he was dating (read: screwing) other women across the country. He breaks up with her and climbs into bed with an ex-girlfriend (read: totally in love with him). On his way OUT of bed that afternoon, the phone rang, and he learned that he had gotten his future bride pregnant. He bid adieu to the once-again-trampled-on-ex-ex-girlfriend, and became committed (read: unlikely) to this woman. Baby is born and they decide to get married.

The months leading up to the wedding have been contentious at best. Fighting over rings, dress, allotted amount of funds to spend, whether she should have her own checking account, etc, etc.

She chooses her bridesmaid dresses. A very pretty dress and a great color. She fights with her sister-in-law (as she 'compromised her vision of the wedding') and kicks her out of it, leaving myself and her matron-of-honor. The matron-of-honor ends up evacuating New Orleans and leaves the dress. You get the idea of how well this is all going ...

HDH informs another groomsman that before they know it, all bridesmaids will be gone, the groom will have bailed, and that he and this guy would have to draw straws to marry her. Funny.

Got home this week to find an email waiting for me from the bride. Seems her husband-to-be has given her a prenup to sign 10 DAYS BEFORE the wedding. Her lawyer is unable to read it until Tuesday, and they are marrying that Saturday. She said she refuses to sign something that is 'negotiating their divorce already'. It already maps out the alimony and child support payments, that she would have to move out of 'their home' as it would then be 'his house' in 30 days, and no later.

All of that aside - don't you think that 10 days is a bit close to be giving someone this? I personally think that they're making a HUGE mistake by getting married. This is a sign, I tell you. A sign.

On a related note: I'm supposed to be singing at this function, too. I haven't even practiced. I also think it's going to be a bad thing to sing "At Last .... my looooooooove has come along" ... because really, it ain't so.

Thoughts??
