The thing is, when a wedding is run correctly, NO singles, who aren't engaged, or about to be, are allowed to bring a date.

I bet you had a cash bar at your wedding too.

My major accomplishement was devising a buffet menu that allowed for both vegans (art school crowd) and Atkins diet followers. I was quite proud of that! Everyone had something good to eat, and I got many compliments on the food! (This isn't as easy as it sounds, by the way, if you are trying to stay within a catering budget.)

We did NOT have place cards. I cannot imagine anything more pointless...people would have simply ignored them. We actually had people show up in jeans, and this for a formal evening wedding! What I realized is that many of these kids had never attended this type of wedding, and many of them came up to me and went on and on about how beautiful the whole thing was, how they couldn't believe we FED them, etc.

LOL!! People aren't allowed to dring a date???? What kind of control freak behavior is that???? I would never go to a wedding where I was not allowed to bring the girl I was dating unless there was some really good reason such as an extremely small wedding (less than 30). I have never heard such BS.

No, I didn't; neither at mine, nor the one I gave for my daughter.

NEVER ASSUME. :-)
