"upskill"

When you hire UPS to take out the competition?

I've been to a number of weddings where I wasn't closely connected to anyone who wasn't part of the wedding party - is that really that uncommom?

Me too. It wouldn't upset me if I received an invitation without the "and guest", because technically it's their party and they can cry if they want to choose their guests, but it might make my decision to attend the reception.

Yeah, if I can't bring someone who I can talk to, odds are slim to none that I'll attend by myself just for the sheer joy of being forced to sit through dinner with a bunch of strangers. That's pretty much my working definition of Hell right there.

I totally want to be upskilled. It just sounds fun.

Wait-- was she say that if you were a couple, you shouldn't have to include "and guest" or was she saying that if you were invited with an and guest, you HAVE to bring a guest?

My coworker was saying you shouldn't have to invite people with a random plus one. And actually, she even said she would make the exception for anyone who wouldn't know anyone else at the wedding. And she got totally attacked on some other board for that opinion. People not us are crazy.

And I'm shocked that people who are invited as one person would RSVP as two. Shocked!

That makes a lot more sense. I was laughing a lot at people saying-- but you HAVE to bring a guest!!!

What drives me crazy is that people STILL invite my mother and I, with no plus one for either of us, on the same invitation. I realize I am the youngest person in my family who is not in middle school, but I am over thirty and not living with my mother! She deserves a date and so do I! We no linger have to be each other's date now that I am over 18!

see me, even as a couple, I do not want to go to the reception if we don't know anyone but the bride or groom. I don't like other people that much. decline, send gift.

I swear when in Texas that we got some invitations to JUST the wedding - like big church wedding, much smaller reception - common?

Oh! I know what I was going to ask you guys.

Last night, the shower curtain rod in my bathroom fell down twice, and is currently sitting in a lopsided heap in the tub because I got tired of putting it back up.

Should I a) attempt to lighten the load on the existing rod -- which is something I can do, or b) just buy a new rod.

Dude, whatever. I'm not saying it's not nice to let your single friends bring dates, but it's not a requirement that you invite ANYONE to your wedding! It's your wedding! You decide who gets to be there!

What are all these weddings people are invited to when they don't know anyone else who is going to be there? I am kind of opposed to the "invite everybody and their coworkers" type of wedding. If I got invited to a wedding and didn't know anybody but the people getting married, I wouldn't go.

In my case it was individual friends in college that I didn't hang out with in a group with other friends. Family weddings, and those of either my high school or post-college groups of friends, have enough other people I know present for it not to be a worry.

This weekend's wedding was funny because in addition to the family, all but a handful of my non-related co-workers were there. Worlds colliding and all.
