Hell, there were some friends and family who weren't in attendance because of their inability to stand with us as a married couple.

I completely agree with this sentiment.
OOHLALA, I think it may be good to consider your motivations. Why do you really want to invite your ex? What benefit are you getting from that? (these are questions that seem brash {please forgive me for that}, but you should ponder them before sending those invitations).
I'm of the opinion that large society weddings just don't make the affair very meaningful. A wedding allows for a communion of two supporting groups as they salute your marital journey. On your wedding day, you should be able to look around the room at the witnesses who will be willing to encourage and support you as you wed and seek to maintain your marriage. The wedding should be an intimate affair. Co-workers, exes, old and detached friends should not be invited because it's polite, but because you sincerely believe they mean well for you.
