What is acceptable are holiday calls (valentine's day excluded) hello, how are you, happy holiday etc, and good bye. That is fine. Calling her if there is a death or illness in either extended circle of mutual friend's most acceptable. Inviting her and her new love to your wedding is honorable, if done because you truly wish to share your nuptials with people whom you care about.
