    Bring an escort, but pretend you are have been going out with each other for ages.
    Introduce her to everyone you know, hilarity will ensue.

    Guest is spelt wrong. It should be 'Gest'.

    They want you to bring David Gest.

    Bring someone who could use a hot meal


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Just go on your own. You can bring a mate if you know shag-all people at it. But it would be best to bring a mate who might have some vague familiarity with one of the newlyweds.

    Not directing this at you, but in general, I get annoyed by this fear of going to a wedding alone that some people have - even weddings of those close to them. It's kinda pathetic. And also, the way they'd bring a partner if they were going out with them for two flipping weeks. The partner may not even want to go. It would make far more sense to bring a mate who might be somewhat acquainted with one of the people getting married.

    Bring Vince Vaughn or Owen Wilson. They seem like great craic at a wedding.

    Bring a mate and try get a game of poker going in the back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,800 ✭✭✭Senna


    go on your own, but order two dinners, get two glasses for wine, get two drinks for the toast.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,503 ✭✭✭thefinalstage


    Go on your own! All of the woman will be emotional at the fact that they are still single and grab hold with both hands!

    Bring a mop wearing a dress. If anyone says anything just run off crying screaming "I knew they wouldn't understand our love".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Red Hand


    Dress a cardboard cutout of yourself and bring it along.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 228 ✭✭Goldenquick


    Bring someone that can drive and take you home if you get the worse for wear :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    OP, have you seen Weekend At Bernie's at all?

    Have you been stalking me? Leave Mopsy out of this:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    I know someone who went out to look for a girlfriend to bring to a wedding because the invite was addressed to him and partner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    Free meal?
    I'm there.

    Pretend you're gay for the night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 106 ✭✭Poco Loco


    Bring someone definitely, unless you know a few other single people going on their own? Don't bring someone you are hoping to score with. Cause you will end up sitting on the bandstand at the end of the night crying into your jagerbomb when it doesn't work out :)

    I thought the title was me + quest and that you were going to go on an adventure or to kill a dragon or something. I'm disappointed now! :(

    Raise the dead and then bring a shambling (but still not decomposed enough to be unattractive) zombie with you. From the films I've been watching, it doesnt really seem too hard to do.

    Hmm, necrophilia jokes. Thats not cool. :o

    Bring a skeleton. They have no body to go with either apparently.

    Or an omnipotent cushion. Back on topic bring an imaginary friend. Just because they're imaginary doesn't mean they're not real.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,503 ✭✭✭thefinalstage


    Bring a sheep. They will all understand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    was at a family wedding few years ago, was me and guest, went on my own, my dad was also invited and a few cousins were there that i got on with, had a great time, and got a few fantastic snogs out of it (all with the same girl, dont think my cousin would have been to happy if i kissed too may of her mates on her wedding day).

    :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,537 ✭✭✭Gyalist


    Go on your own. Weddings are one of the best places for picking up chicks (if you're that way inclined).

    /stab

    Put makeup on your right hand.


  • Registered Users Posts: 199 ✭✭pommers

    If you bring a woman you barely know, it could seem ok for a while but then it might be a long night.

    If you bring a mate, people will notice that you've no woman with you for a while but when they get drunk they'll forget

    If you go on your own you'll feel like a spare prick for a long time until after the meal but after that you'd be grand.

    Try to get a woman this week, that's what I'd do.

    You should go alone and try and bag a bridesmaid

    I agree with Binomate. Invite David Gest.

    Don't forget to some to bring some heavy-duty boot-polish in case he gets head sweats at the reception.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    Invite David Icke and have him accuse the bride of being a lizard ftw.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,382 ✭✭✭✭rubadub


    Was it not a RSVP invite? weddings cost a lot, having a "+ guest" might be people who are not sure if you have a partner or fiance, and it could be insulting if they didnt know when they sort of should. Even if they do know some find it nice.

    You should really reply asap, as there may be others they did not invite due to lack of places.

    I wouldnt bring a mate to fill in a gap for a wedding, but a work-do is another thing. We had one and it was "+ partner", inferring wive/husband/BF/GF. Me and a few lads brought our mates and all got pissed on the free booze. The way I see it a work-do is a form of christmas bonus- why should some get "twice the value" as others.

    Of course my mate knew the score for the "free drink"/partner arrangement, rode him rotten!
