Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris' First Meeting Since Canceled Wedding

As you'll recall, the 25-year-old Harris broke off her engagement to the 85-year-old Hef last June, just five days before they were set to walk down the aisle.

According to our sources, a friend of Crystal's was invited to the Playboy Mansion last week and asked Crystal to tag along. Not wanting to create a scene, we're told Crytal phoned ahead to make sure it was all right ... and Hef said he would love to see her.

Our sources say the meeting was brief -- a quick and friendly hello, not much more.
