Hi! My fiancé and I were invited to a wedding, he is currently on a deployment and the bride is aware that he obviously won't be able to make the wedding. I only know the bride and will my know anyone else at the wedding. Is it bad etiquette to ask if I can bring a friend/different plus one? I'll go...

Hi! My fiancé and I were invited to a wedding, he is currently on a deployment and the bride is aware that he obviously won't be able to make the wedding. I only know the bride and will my know anyone else at the wedding. Is it bad etiquette to ask if I can bring a friend/different plus one? I'll go alone if I have to but would be nice to have a friend there! I can't jet too early from the reception as there are shuttles that go back and forth to hotel so would he hard to pull an Irish exit haha.

Thanks for your thoughts!

    For my guest list invites are 100% non-transferrable. Only those who I'm happily willing to pay for are invited and in your situation that would be you and your FH...not you & a friend I've never met.

    Totally understandable. Ha luckily my friend has met the friend I am bringing in his place but she didn't ask either way. FH would be there if he could! haha believe me...

    I do not think that it is rude to ask given your situation.

    Rude would be just showing up with someone else and not letting the couple know.
