I'm new to the boards, and I'm trying to help my bride-to-be plan the wedding, but she tends to get into this mode of making decisions without me, which maybe that's normal, and there are somethings I'm not really that concerned with (linens, flowers, etc.).
However she made the decision that guests would not be allowed to bring dates unless they had been with the person X amount of time.
Now I've been in the wedding party in like half a dozen weddings in the past 6-7 years, and been invited to plenty more, and every wedding I've ever been invited to has allowed me to bring a guest. Granted I never brought a guest unless it was someone I was seriously dating or the person was a close friend, but I always had that option.
Now she tells me "it's tradition" to selectively tell people who is and who isn't allowed a +1. Has anybody out there ever heard of this tradition?
I've chosen to grit my teeth and deal with this thus far, but I am not looking forward to telling my single friends that they have to come alone and their friends/significant others they meet between now and the wedding aren't welcome.
