Actor and self-proclaimed bachelor Vince Vaughn finally tied the knot with girlfriend Kyla Weber. The Daily Mail announced the news with this jarring headline: “Look away Jennifer Aniston! Wedding Crasher Vince Vaughn ties knot with estate agent love.” Ouch.

Whenever the opportunity strikes, people sure do love reminding Jennifer Aniston how she’s still single. But Aniston aside, breaking up with a loved one, even if the decision was mutual, can still leave behind a lot of emotions. Even if you have moved on to someone else, it’s easy to fall into thoughts of “what could have been.” So how do you deal with an ex who’s getting married?

Well, first of all, it’s normal to feel maybe a tiny bit of jealousy or resentment. But the key to get through it is to remember why you and your ex broke up in the first place. Too often it’s easy to remember all the good times, but no one wants to sit and think about all the bad times. If you have friends who were around during the breakup, have them remind you of all the terrible things your ex did.

Or if remembering the bad things isn’t enough, send a card to your ex congratulating him or her on their marriage. The feeling of penning the note and mailing it off can feel conclusive, and it’s an easy way to finally close the chapter on that relationship.

And if you’re invited to the wedding, make sure to follow some of the rules we posted here about attending an ex’s wedding.
