Today, it's the first day of our honeymoon. My bride just informed me that she invited her ex-husband to come, so he can spend time with the kids. He will be here in 4 hours. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my fiancée decided to go on a 3-hour trip because she needed a break from the baby and me. I forgot to mention who she went with: her ex. FML
Today, my fiancée decided to go on a "vacation." Our wedding is tomorrow. FML
Today, my date bumped into her ex-husband, who decided to join us for the rest of the dinner. FML
Today, I met my wife's other husband. FML
Today, I met my husband's other wife. FML
Today, I found out that my now-ex slept with his not-so-ex the day before our wedding. FML
Today, my parents invited all their kids and grandkids to join them on a vacation trip to the mountains; all their kids except me, that is. I'm not invited. But they did invite my ex-husband. And his new girlfriend. FML
Today, my ex husband is marrying my sister. FML
Today, I went all out for my husband on our anniversary. I planned meals, took him to a stage show, and got him a bottle of cologne he loves. He was moody, distant, and at one point crying. Why? He found out his ex-wife is getting married today and he couldn’t stop thinking about her. FML
Today, my wife is leaving me for the guy she told me not to worry about, who is also her ex. FML

Isn't a honeymoon meant to be without the kids? Actually, also without the wifes ex? Maybe send the kids home with the ex and enjoy your honeymoon?

If the ex-husband has agreed to watch the kids while their mother is on her honeymoon, unless there's something else we're not being told, that means: 1) You and your wife won't have to spend your honeymoon looking after them. 2) Your wife and her ex-husband seemingly have an amicable relationship, and he's cool with her marrying someone else. 3) The childrens' biological father is still involved in his childrens' lives, which is great, and also means OP and him would inevitably meet. So honestly, that all sounds good. The only issue here, is that OP and his wife clearly didn't discuss childcare arrangements beforehand. Like maybe dropping them off at her ex-husband's before going on the honeymoon? Hopefully he's not there to be a third wheel - but a childminder, so your new step-kids don't end up being third wheels themselves.

I'm not sure either of you understood the concept of a honeymoon being a couple's holiday, not a family vacation. I mean sure it sucks she brought in the ex-husband to watch them, but what would your plan have been? Or did you just forget about your step-children? Why did you get married if you're still hung up over her ex? He's the father of the kids, he's gonna be around. Why did they not stay with him in the first place? How come you never talked about any of this until the honeymoon started? But most importantly, is there still time to annul that marriage? Cause it seems like you got some major communication and boundary issues, my friend, and those usually don't dissolve with time or a wedding vow.

Unless you wanted a G-rated honeymoon, getting the ex-husband to watch the kid sounds like a blessing.

Free babysitter so you and your bride can properly enjoy each other.

After your honeymoon is over you should take your wife to marriage counseling. She definitely need to learn how to communicate with you before something happens that she knows will upset you.

Sounds like it's not too late for an annulment.
