Dear Queenie,
I’ve been invited to a wedding, but the bride told me that since I’m not in a committed relationship with anyone I cannot bring a date. I will know some of the people there but not very many and most of them are in the bridal party so they won’t be sitting with the other guests.
Queenie, isn’t this rather rude?—Wedding Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
No. The “plus one” option is up to the host of any event.
Instead of being miffed about this restriction, look at the occasion as an opportunity to catch up with the people you do know and to meet up with some new ones.
Perhaps being unattached will even prove to be an advantage if you happen to meet an attractive person of the opposite gender – who also will not have a “plus one” in tow.
