I'm not sure if it's polite to ask to bring a friend.
Question Posted Sunday January 28 2007, 11:24 am
My guy friend of six years is getting married in the fall. My boyfriend is going to be standing up in his wedding. I was invited, of course, but I am worried about going because I won't have anyone to sit with at dinner. Since my boyfriend is standing up, he has to eat with the other members of the wedding party. Would it be rude of me to ask the groom if I can bring a friend so I'm not sitting around by myself the whole time? Or should I just stick it out?

Planning a wedding is quite a chore, and they may not have considered all the little details, such as you will be sitting alone due to your boyfriend being in the wedding party. They have been VERY busy trying to set this up. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]

If you're close with the groom/bride then I'm sure it would be fine to ask, but if not you might just have to stick it out. Use your personal judgement of whether or not you'd find it appropriate to ask.
