conversation

Went to an ex-colleague's wedding. Our table consist of people that we're familiar with and 2 person whom we're not familiar with. Nearing the ending of the dinner:

YH: Was he married when he was in the company or before? (talking about the groom's previous marriage)
Me: Err.. not sure....
YH: I think it was before he joined....
Me: Err.. let's not talk about it. It's all in the past!
Others: Yea.. it's in the past already!


Maybe I tend to think too much.. but what's the point of bringing up about previous marriage when the occassion is to celebrate the groom's current union with his wife?
