Just curious, I'm party of wedding party, my girlfriend isn't. The people getting married are making me hang-out on a golf-course between the wedding and the reception, and I have to sit with the wedding party, while my girlfriend who does not know anyone will be alone. I'm trying not to hurt anyone's feelings!

You only have to sit with everyone in the wedding party at the beginning of the reception, the toast, and the dinner. Then you'll be able to party and dance just like everyone else. I'm pretty sure she could just wait patiently for you until the event at the golf course is over. The couple getting married isn't making you do anything. They have invited you to be a part of their special day and you should be honored to have such a good friend.

As a bride to be I have round tables of 10. I have 5 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen. The groomsmen will be at one table and the maids at another and each will sit with their spouses. That is what I planned because I don't want any guests to feel awkward at my wedding. During the pictures being taken she could attend cocktail hour. She SHOULD have been invited to rehearsal dinner and this would be a GREAT time to introduce her to other girlfriends of the groomsmen and have her mingle a little. Ask if she is sitting with other singles or wives or girlfriends and get them talking. She will feel more comfortable talking to one person she met then just waiting for you to come back from taking pictures. YES you have to take pictures and if that's why you are on the golf course then you have to stay. The wedding party has to be announced as they come in and then you can sit and mingle. The toasts are done about the time everyone has finished eating so sit and eat with your GF and then go to the table and toast and then dance and mingle. The bride and groom are usually too busy flitting about the room to pay any attention to where everyone is at. They should have planned accordingly for this or at least sat wives and girlfriends together.

However you try to resolve this, talk to your girlfriend and make sure she is OK with everything. This way if you have to be apart from her during the wedding, it will not cause problems between the two of you. The bride and groom should have made arrangements for significant others of the wedding party.

You have a lifetime to share with your girlfriend. You have only one day to share your friends wedding. If your friend respected you enough to invite you to their most important day in their life... honor their respect with your own respect for them. Be at the wedding, no matter how boring it may seem. You are not celebrating just another day in your life... you are celebrating the beginning of their lives together. If your friends are truly your friends... I do not believe they would dishonor you or your girlfriend by refusing her ability to attend. If not for the actual wedding, at least for the reception. Go to the wedding and the reception. Bring your girlfriend. A friend would not complain about her being there. In fact, they will probably think that you thought enough about their wedding, to bring a person special to you to witness it and celebrate alongside them.

Ask the Bride and Groom, I'm sure they wouldn't mind as long as she kinds stays out of the pictures if there any being taken for the wedding books sake......otherwise I am pretty sure she would be welcome.

if you are part of the wedding then ask the grrom or birde. you are obviously good enough friends with them that they shouldn't have any issues with it, provided that you are there for when you are needed.
