[quote=Anonymous][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]
My thought is that you need to grow up. If you had to have prior approval of the plus one then you should have spelled it out. Unless, his plus one is a criminal, a psycho, or your ex husband, who the hell cares??[/quote]
