I thought you ladies would enjoy the second "Dear Abby." (It's a slow day at work!)

I remember you all (or most) talking about this, it's something I dread! What is wrong with people? Ha.

    Ugh... yes, lady, that's extremely tacky. And wounded heart? Please. It's her COUSIN'S wedding. She will be surrounded by family. Why does she need to bring a 2-month (or less) fling?

    Sorry to our guests, but only those who are in a serious relationship will be invited to bring someone.

    Oh my gosh.... some people. "wounded heart" ::eye roll::

    First off, she is basically lobbying for a "date" that doesn't even exist in this woman's life yet to come to the wedding that is less than 2 months away. Ugh... just some people.

    We did the same thing, Chelsea. If they weren't "signifiant" enough to have been introduced to us/our family at the time the invites went out... then they weren't invited.

    I don't think the "+1" debate will ever end. Some people just feel so entitled to spend other people's money. Nobody is "owed" a date to someone else's event. If the hosts are gracious enough (translate: loaded enough) to accommodate a date for every single guest, then that's awesome... but to get all butt hurt about it when they can't afford to invite your random srew of the week that you haven't even met yet... stuff it.

    end angry rant.

    "wounded heart" made me laugh. I had been dating a guy a 1.5 yrs (we were on the fritz but not many people knew) and my now SIL invited me to her wedding without an "and guest". So I went without him. Suck it up! Finanically she couldnt afford to have extra people she didnt know and Ive been close with this girl since middle school so I understood and never brought it up (although part of me was like 1.5 yrs and he doesnt get invited?). But she wasnt even related to me. If youre willing to miss your cousins wedding b/c you couldnt bring some play toy, then even you werent worth the invite!
