How To Be A Stress-Free Wedding Guest
Whether dating or single; attending someone else's wedding can be stressful.
by Rebecca Wright
So are there any rules for a bird and bloke teetering on the make-or-break brink when yet another wedding invitation arrives in the mail? If commitment is what you’re after, hang out with the blissful husbands and wives at the reception, rather than the swinging singles.
“Surrounding yourselves with happily married couples is a great way to ‘market marriage’ to your mate,” says Daniel Rosenberg, co-author with Richard Kirshenbaum of Closing the Deal: Two Married Guys Take You From Single Miss to Wedded Bliss.
If you’re looking for the escape hatch, Kirshenbaum has the strategy nailed: “Wait for a really important wedding and don’t invite him. He’ll get the hint.”
And if your goal is simply to have a good time? Just remember you’re there to celebrate someone else’s marriage, not to audition for your own.

Why are so many woman ready to RUSH to the alter? Nothing is more sacred and long lasting.
I appreciate the relationship I’m in and going to a wedding is an event about them…NOT us. Just relax and enjoy THEIR happy day and be HAPPY FOR THEM!

I recently called off a wedding, days before the event..realizing, this man is not the one for me. Going to a wedding now would break us up I am sure. Any invites?

she was just wishing she had martin cause when you don’t have someone…and you go to a wedding, it makes you sad. It makes you lonely. It makes you think that you will never find “the one”. but if things were not great…then do not settle…it just sets you up to miss out on the opportunity to find “the one”
