On the Stop The Internet podcast, host Kelee Bovelle and guest Erin talked about the etiquette of giving your single friends a date at weddings.

Weddings come with their own set of rules and regulations, with smaller ceremonies now in fashion, plus others becoming less common.

But one woman has claimed that single people should always be given a wedding date, after recently attending a celebration and having no one to talk to.

in it Stop the internet podcasthost Kelee Bovelle and guest Erin talked about the etiquette of giving your single friends a date, after Erin said she had no one to talk to when she was sitting at a couples table.

“I went to a wedding where I was sitting between two couples,” Erin explained in the podcast, which was released in late December.

She said she tried to talk to the couple sitting on either side of her, but they were engrossed in their own conversations.

“And I remember turning to my right and saying something to the person next to me and he didn’t hear me because his back was turned to me because he was talking to his date,” she explained.

“So I turned to the left and said exactly the same thing,” she recalls irritably.

“The exact same thing happened,” he continued. “I had my back turned, no one was looking at me.”

Erin went on to explain that because of the large round wedding tables, the other guests were too far away to talk to.

“I thought, ‘I can’t see that person who’s there to talk to,'” he complained.

“So I literally thought, ‘Oh, okay,’ and I put my mind back to what I was eating at that wedding and I was quiet for the rest of the meal until someone else looked at me to say something,” she said. .

Erin continued, “It’s not because I need someone to come to me, it’s because I literally tried, but people get carried away by the people they’re with, and that’s the crux of the matter.”

“I’m not saying this is the worst thing that has happened to me in my life, I’m not giving it the greatest importance.

“But if we’re going to talk about it, I’ll explain why this is awkward for you single friends,” Erin concluded the segment.

Many single viewers agreed with Erin’s opinion and shared their own experiences attending weddings alone.

‘Like the single friend! I’m in my 30s. “I’ve been to a lot of weddings over the years and I ALWAYS make sure to ask if I can bring a date (my date is always a friend) because it’s hard,” one user shared.

“If I don’t know anyone, I won’t go anymore… too many uncomfortable and wasted afternoons,” complained another.

“I’ve told people who don’t offer me a date that I’ll be attending the ceremony but not the reception,” another chimed in.

‘I went to a family friend’s wedding with my parents and they didn’t give me a date. Good because I thought I would sit with my parents. No, they were put at a different table with their friends.

Previously, etiquette expert Julie Lamberg-Burnet urged brides and grooms to think carefully about their guest list and whether it felt right not to invite someone else or their partners.

“For a small, intimate wedding, it’s perfectly fine to state that spaces are limited and if the couple has the opportunity to attend a post-wedding event, it’s a nice gesture,” she explained.

‘It is up to the couple to make the final decision. If budget allows, be sure to include a spouse, fiancé, or live-in partner. The essentials are your close family and your good friends.

‘Consideration, communication and compromise are important for wedding planning and guest lists.

“How you handle the conversation with your friends about your guest list is key to making people feel comfortable about who will and won’t attend, and a good reason to avoid being perceived as rude.”
