I agree, so I hope I sent the right message.

Not for nothing, but what is the etiquette when someone you went out with for 6 months, broke up with 4 years before gets engaged and invites you to the engagement?
In normal circumstances I'd never invite an ex to my engagement, unless we remained friends over those for years. In this case we didn't talk until the engagement party. I interpreted it as one up-man-ship where she was proving that she was capable of finding a mate of which she could betrothe, and potentially create additions to the gene pool after I'd rejected her 4 years earlier.

Geez Tony you're making me self-conscious now, maybe I spent too much.
