Dinner and drinks (I don't drink, but my friend might) would be covered in the wedding gift, so I'm not bringing someone to get a free meal and drinks.

I think that is fine as long as you had rsvp'd for u and a guest. Only stupid small minded people would "assume" your gay. Take your friend and have a ball. You will probably will have more fun with your friend then you would have with your real date.

Well do people understand WHY you are taking her, otherwise there will be whispers. Nothing wrong with letting people know. The other thing is how old is the friend. By certain ages it looks less like an ackward thing and like it is just friends. Now if the friend knows the cousin it would be even better, could just pretend you went togther rather then both going alone. In general though I would think ask the cousin, if they don't care then why should you? I mean if they don't think it is wrong and it is their wedding day then you have nothing to worry about.

I can't believe the overwhelminig positive response.
the answer is no. It is impolite to take a friend of the same sex to a wedding unless she is your significant other or you are dating her. It's just the rules. If you do it is viewed as taking advantage of the open bar and a free meal. The bride and groom expect that you will bring a partner but to bring a friend is just taking advantage of them. Leave your friend at home and just talk to your family members. This is costing your cousin enough as it is.

If it is the cousins wedding it would only be polite to call and ask her if it was OK, and let her know the date cancelled. this way u feel more comfortable when u go, I'm sure she won't mind, it happens all the time.

I think you and your friend would have a great time at your cousin's wedding. But just to be polite and avoid awkwardness, it might be nice to tell your cousin about the change of plans.

I'd rather you bring the girlfriend and you both have a good time. The plate is already paid for. Why waste it? Also, the invitations usually say, "Ms. Jane Smith & guest". The guest can be whomever you choose; it doesn't have to be a man.

If its possible to get in touch, I would just run the information by your cousin unless you are comfortable enough to know that she wouldnt mind. Its nothing wrong with going with a friend...you guys will have a nice time.

It's fine as long as you discuss it with your cousin first. It is your cousin's wedding and he/she does have a right to say yes or no to you bringing your friend.

Yes then you could go man hunting together. I heard that's the best place to meat single attractive men at weddings. Don't know if it's true though! Just in case dress SEXY!!!

Of course. No need to let the bride know in advance, just introduce your friend to her when you arrive. She has more important things to worry about on the day. Have a great time.
