No. I'm not getting married. Yet.
But I have an interesting problem that I'm trying to solve quickly. I got my buddy's (we've been friends since high school) wedding invitation in the mail recently and I have until July 10 to RSVP.
I'm going but the lingering question is should I try to find a date for the wedding or should I roll solo? I haven't been to many weddings recently, so forgive me if I'm not up on the etiquette for this kind of thing. My buddy said he doesn't care what I do.
Trust me. I've debated the pros and cons of this for a little while and I'm the fence. I figure if I come with a date then I will not feel awkward if I'm placed at a table with all married folks (my biggest concern). If I roll solo, I figure I'll be a hot commodity for any single women that attend the wedding. I've also been told that weddings are havens for eligible single women.
So, what's a 28-year-old, single, college-educated black man who hopes to be in my buddy's place one day at the altar supposed to do?

Go dolo. 90 percent of the time, couples will place their young single friends @ a table together because they don't want you to b alone. Have fun!

"Roll solo...You'll get more numbers but a date will have all the ladies wondering who you are and why you are not with them, so the ball is in your court boo."
Mmmmmm, in the olden days, well not so olden, a wedding date was usually someone serious, but I guess if you tell the person up front that you just wanted someone to talk to, since you can't hog the groom's time, then it should be cool. But then again, like writenow said, you'd probably be put at a table with all single people, but if not, you only have to sit there while you eat, and that'll take, what, 10 minutes? You can mingle, or find a single honey to talk to the whole night.
You know you want to strut your stuff at the wedding - quit frontin' rude boy!!!
I'm going to a wedding in August and I shall go solo. Not a thought about it. lol.

wanna get a date? roll solo. wanna have a built-in buffer? go with a homie? will you not know any other people there? if you will, there's no need for a buffer.

Solo. Not only will you come up with a number, you could possibly get some. Just a thought.
@Saharra...The wedding is in August and it is in New York. Holla at me offline. (wink).
@writenow & journiemajor...the only weddings that I've been to prior to this one...were weddings that I went with my family (mother, father and sister...so we were all placed together). So, it is a different world as a single adult.
@jameil1922...Unforunately, the groom will be the only person that I know personally. But I'm good at making friends.
@jpaulgrant1 & epsilonicus....LMAO.
I say find a date with no strings attached. If you have a good buddy whose presentable, would have a good time, and would allow you to have a good time, that's what's up. If you can't find a buddy then roll alone. Some say weddings are prime opportunity to find someone.
I sent the wedding invitation in and I'm going solo. We'll see what happens.
