“Jaw With John” – You Sandbaggin’ Son Of A Bitch!

I am a thirtysomething bachelor facing two out-of-town weddings without a date. The only people I’ll know at either event are the bride and groom.

Attending both weddings will require air travel and hotel rooms, and both are likely to be very full weekends.

In short, without a date, these could be deadly. Would it be horrible if I declined? — Singled Out

Dear Singled:

So lemme get this straight: You’re single and going to a wedding out-of-town where you only know the bride & groom. How is this a problem?

Go to the weddings and “grab that net and catch that beautiful butterfly pal!”

“Jaw With John” – You’re Not Vince Vaughn or Owen Wilson

Is it ever OK to attend a wedding ceremony if you’re not invited?

My daughter is a bridesmaid in the wedding of her best friend — both are now independent and live in distant places but the wedding will be in their hometown in the local church.

I have known this girl forever and we have always had a lovely “friend’s mom” relationship. The wedding celebration will be small and I’m not in the least put out by not being included on the guest list. I’m friendly with her parents (invited to graduations, discussed various issues, etc.) but we’re not friends in a social way.

However, I would love to go to the wedding itself. Is there any acceptable way to do this, or ask to do this? –Wedding Crasher

Dear Crasher:

No.
