Inviting a +1 to a wedding

[33girl]

It does kind of make sense. Having been to a few weddings along these lines, I'm also betting that it was a pulling teeth fight with the families to get even sisters on the guest list.

If you want to go, get all the sisters together and drive there together. If you don't want to go because of the SO omission, that's your prerogative too. But don't bring a date if you've been told it's not OK.

This, though the destination aspect of it can also be an excuse for not going.

And I'll just say it: I'm not a fan of destination weddings. And the idea of on one hand not having much money for the wedding and so cutting costs by limiting guests, while on the other hand having a destination wedding is . . . odd . . . to me.

I don't think she means that it's a destination in the sense of going to a resort or Bermuda or something, rather that it basically becomes that for everyone not from the town it's in because it's a long ass drive to BFE.

We had a sister wedding like that that was almost at the NY border. Fine for her family but awful for her friends, none of whom were from there, and in the middle of nowhere. And no alcohol and just h'ors d'ouvres.
