A tux? Are you in the wedding or is the dress code black tie for all guests?

That's a good reason to attend, you know--even if you don't have a date.

Yet in his other thread, he was worried about being the only one at the table without a date...as opposed to the head table with the rest of the wedding party?

Who knows how much of his stories are actually true.

Usually those in the wedding party are all seated at the bridal table. Also usually you are kind of "partnered" with a bridesmaid to walk in with, etc. My last wedding where I was in the wedding, after the bride and groom danced, so did the bridesmaids dance with their "partner" usher (slow dance, so don't panic if you can't dance).

Just have a drink or two, enough to be loose but not enough to be obnoxious, dance with all the single girls, and don't be attached to any outcome, and you'll have a good time. IMO weddings can be a great place to meet girls, as they are all sappy and wanting to be in love after watching the ceremony. I wouldn't try to take any back to the hotel, that's really not likely to happen in most cases. but maybe you'll meet someone who you'll want to date.

Gee, and there I was, thinking that attending a friend's wedding was all about celebrating the most important day of that friend's life, when really, it's all about using the occasion for finding someone for a one-night-stand.

Minor detail, he is so charming it shouldn't be a problem.

Nah! It is all about the wedding cake and the hotel after party.

To be honest, why shouldn't he? There is nothing to celebrate about a wedding. You sit there at some over the top ceremony with your back aching in a chair and having nothing but suicidal thoughts flooding your brain. If you don't go then they are mad at you even though they can still go to a courthouse and just get a license to be done with it. The money they save on no ceremony could go to a nice trip somewhere. It all makes no sense to me but then again humans make no sense at all. We celebrate the fanfare and ignore the issues.
