[quote=Anonymous]Would like to get thoughts and opinions on this scenario:

-Planning our wedding and both my sibs are single. 
-I told each as soon as wedding planning started that they could have a +1. I figured that over the course of a year of planning, maybe they would start dating someone and would like to bring as a guest. 
-My sister declined immediately because she didn't want to bring someone random just for the sake of bringing someone. (She is my sensible, thoughtful sib)
-Fast forward a year. 1 month before wedding, my brother sent back the rsvp card with his name and someone I had never heard of. I called to ask him who this person was, and he told me that "they met each other at his new job and they are friends." Completely platonic--in fact she has a girlfriend.

I'm completely annoyed by this. Who brings a friend just for the sake of bringing a friend? This is a destination wedding and I find it obnoxious to have to pay for someone neither I nor my fiance have ever met, AND isn't romantically involved with my brother. Thoughts??[/quote]
