Today, my ex showed up at my door with chocolates and flowers. I've liked him since I was 13, starting dating him when I was 15. He proposed when I was 22. I am now 24, and yesterday was our wedding day. He didn't show. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my ex-girlfriend proposed to me, at my wedding. FML
Today, my long-term boyfriend took me to my favorite restaurant. After the main course, he knelt down and finally proposed to me. I was so happy, I almost cried. Until an old woman came over and said I was way too old for him. I'm three years younger than my fiancé. FML
Today, I went to the surprise birthday party of an ex I still love, though I'm the one who ended things. I walked in in time to see her screaming "Yes" to her kneeling boyfriend, her parents crying and applauding, and her brothers patting him on the back. FML
Today, my family surprised me for my birthday by showing up with a chocolate cake and my ex-boyfriend from back home. They all forgot I'm allergic to chocolate, that I broke up with him about a year ago, and that he’s been trying to win me back ever since. FML
Today, a guy that I've been friends with for almost 20 years, and for whom I have never shown even the slightest bit of romantic interest in, confessed his love for me. In front of everyone we know, at mine and my fiancé's engagement party. FML
Today, my boyfriend brought me home flowers and candy for the first time in our one-year relationship. Thinking he was going to finally propose, I got excited. I asked why he was being so sweet, and he responded with, "I thought you'd take the breakup better this way." FML
Today, an ex-boyfriend of mine came to the jewelry store I work at to pick out an engagement ring for his girlfriend. The same guy who just a few months earlier ended our 8-year relationship because I wanted marriage and he didn't. FML
Today, at my ex's wedding, I had to listen to his joyful recounting of how he met his bride and how they fell instantly in love and he knew she was perfect for him. All this happened while we were still dating. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend announced he was engaged. We broke up last night. FML
Today, I got proposed to. I have been dating my boyfriend for 3 years and we have 2 kids. It was perfect, except it was my ex-boyfriend who proposed to me. FML

he's not really your ex. he's just your fiancee that forgot to marry you.

I have a question for you girls If your fiance didn't show on the wedding day for unknown reasons, what's the best way for a guy to make up for it, and win you back?

How do u expect OP to win back his future wife, and i think the flowers and chocolate are a nice start it's not like anyone thing is going to make up for it.

Well, first he'd have to have one hell of a good excuse. That would be a good start. After that... maybe he should actually show up if the wedding gets rescheduled?

It would depend on why he did it. In this case, my guess is the guy had second thoughts because he never had the chance to be a promiscuous youngster and is wondering what he missed. (The answer is, not much, but society glorifies it to such an extent that I don't blame him for wondering.) If that's true, I'd say they should both take a break and see if it's really true love, or if they were just settling for what they thought they wanted. If they were really happier together, they'll realize it pretty quickly. If not, it's good they never married. As for his gifts, however, if someone jilted me and then showed up with flowers and chocolate, he'd get the door shut in his face. I'd want a sincere discussion, not cheesy ploys. A cliched Valentine is NOT the way to apologize for letting down the woman you love like that. It adds insult to injury.

He'll be happy to give you his hell of a good excuse, but how do you expect him to start this sincere discussion if you slam the door on his face?? The flowers are just the opener for his apologize, not the apologize itself. I’ll never understand why so many girls have such a problem with gifts, do you really expect the guy to come empty handed after what he’s done?

I don't have a problem with the concept of bringing a gift. But flowers and chocolates? Really? Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast tells the Beast he can give Belle, "Flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep..." There's a reason the line is funny. And there's a reason the Beast rejects the idea.

And by Lumiere I meant Cogsworth.

This is nearly identical to the plot line of an episode of That 70's Show that was on last night.
