I'm not sure if it's polite to ask to bring a friend. 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?

Nope, I don't think it's rude. I think he would be pretty understanding if you explain to him that you would be uncomfortable sitting alone or what not. I don't think it would be a problem.

i dont think its a problem asking to bring a friend. you dont want to remember the wedding as being awkward for you! just ask them nicely and if they say no, then they say no but you should try! ]
Of course, I would ask. It wouldn't be rude. He is your friend, and I'm sure he wouldn't want you to have to sit alone.
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. ]
No I do not think its rude. Ask him if you can bring a girlfriend of yours, or maybe someone who is friends with you and the groom.

Well, sometimes the wedding invitations say "To (name) and a guest," in which case it is fine to invite a guest. 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.
