Hun..stop worrying...kick off your shoues...put on your dress and have the time of your life...be confident about who you are and don't worry about what others will think! You never know...that special person may be there alone waiting to meet someone just like you! Have a great time!

It doesn't sound like you really want to go....but go! If this person is a friend, it means something to them that you come. Go out shopping with a friend to look for a nice dress to wear, and plan on bringing your camera. Take lots of pictures during the reception - then send them to the bride and groom in the mail - we had people do that at our wedding and it was so much fun receiving the pictures! You never know what someone might get on film! Also, know that they may be some great people at your table that you can get to know better too. Have a good time!!

(1) Believe it or not, this idea of bringing "a date" to a wedding is a very recent innovation. The old rule was "no ring, no bring" -- this is, only those married or engaged were considered as couples. So of course you should go, date or no date. How are you ever going to meet new people if you're unable to leave home without a date?
(2) Except for a few exceptional and very wealthy individuals, we aren't expected to have a new ensemble for every event. Nothing wrong with wearing the same dress, even if many of the same people will be in attendence. In fact, a professional wardrobe advisor would have you choose 1 or 2 good, festive frocks for wedding wear and stick with them for many years, altering only the accessories.

I'm getting married in 2 months so will give you some advice from my perspective. The bride obviously counts you as a close enough friend to invite to her wedding and would like you there to celebrate this special occassion. It is a way of showing those you value that you appreciate them and everything you have been through over the years and she would like to continue the friendship into the next phase of her life.
It doesn't matter that you don't have a date, nobody will mind, she invited YOU remember! Weddings tend to make everyone chatty and friendly so you will soon be socialising quite easily.
As for the outfit well its obviously suitable for a wedding as you've worn it to oen before. It seems as you only know the bride currently that nobody will know you wore it to another wedding previously anyway. It doesn't matter that you have worn it before anyway, as long as its clean and suitable.
So I would say that all your worries are now solved and that you should go and enjoy it.

Take some lesson from me.
Next to my house there is a wedding hall. Whenever I feel like having a good time, I land up at any weddinh taking place there. I have the guts to go to the stage, greet the Bride and the Groom, in my practised manner say MY PRESENCE IS MY PRESENT,
get photographed with the newly weds,remark to all and sundry present at the venue like how pretty pair they make, then gobble on the food & ice cream,and go whistling home.
Well, its their problem if they dont recognise me in the marriage fotos album. Thats their headache.
If I can do it at strangers weddings, you can too. Just dont mind what you wear etc. Have a nice time, greet friends etc. Just that.

You should go.
Wear the best dress you have and do your hair nicely. Wear a nice perfume. Work on your confidence. Have a cool tune in your head while walking so that you move easily (not a reggae tho...)... Feel nice.
When you are invited it is because the bride wants you to celebrate the day with you. Look at it as an opportunity to get to know some nice people. Have an open mind.

Well this really depends on the kind of person you are: independent or dependent. I had friend like that at our wedding, she stayed for the ceremony and even made presence at the reception but after she was able to come up and see me then she left. My husband and i were so glad to see that she was able to make it, she is a terrifc friend but we don't ever see each other. We only talk through email. If nothing else I would show up to the ceremony to support your friendship, and if you are having fun then maybe at least make an appearnce at the wedding.

Hmm personally I dont think I would go, if its only a friend of a friend its not really worth the hassle. Plus I would feel stupid not knowing anyone. The bride wont have any time to spend with you

wow that sounds crazy. if the bride wants you ro be there then go and be there for her on the big day. you will probably make lots of friends, do not worry what you are wearing as long as it suits the atrmosphere, go and support your friend she will then also become a better friend of yours. enjoy yourself, support the bride meet some people you may get a date.

the other week i went to a wedding of a friend, a very good friend, but i never met her in person until the eve of the wedding... she was the only one i knew there.... and i normally dont have any fancy clothing, just a neat pair of trousers and a nice shirt...
if it isnt that close a friend, then i wudnt bother with fancy new cloths for this, just sumting you're comfy in to make you feel at ease
