This past weekend, I was a guest at a beautiful wedding - but I was terribly embarrased by another friend of mine. At the very last minute before her catering deadline, he asked to bring a date. The bride's mother managed to get his date included, but then he realized that the train schedules weren't going to let him make the wedding afterall. What was most aggregious is that he didn't even call the mother-of-the-bride to tell her that he wouldn't be there - just didn't show up. I told him that they would have to pay for both of their dinners - in New York that's at least $160 wasted - and there would be two awkward empty spaces at a table, but he wasn't hearing it.
If you are invited to a wedding, PLEASE take the time to a) RSVP promptly b)make and confirm your travel arrangements well in advance c)unless your invitation says your name + guest, don't ask to invite one. The only exception to this rule is if you live with your partner and the couple isn't aware of that fact. d)if something unavoidable does come up, try to communicate it as soon as possible. e) if that unavoidable thing doesn't come up until the day before the wedding, make sure that you've moved heaven and earth to be there.
