Stop giving wedding plus-ones to people who are married, engaged, or cohabitating. leahbeckmann writes
Photo: FG Trade/Getty Images A wedding, one could argue, is the ultimate romantic evening. It’s summer, probably, and the air is soft and warm. Fairy lights twinkle, music plays, and revelers clink their glasses in toast after toast. A besotted couple stand together in front of their loved ones and several tier-two acquaintances to make a lifelong commitment to each other. It’s lovely. But … could weddings do with a slight structural tweak or two? Absolutely.
This is the second reason why single people should get to bring a date: numbers. Maybe they’ve brought a friend or someone they’re trying to feel out but then decide they’re not into it. Great. One person’s trash is another person’s plus-one they’re now fucking in a ditch. Like in that Sex and the City episode when Charlotte hosts a party, and everyone is asked to bring someone they’re not interested in. And just like that … your wedding is sexy.
And then there’s the newly dating. Jesus, give these people a plus-one. It’s been a month, maybe two, and they are so happy. They are ecstatic. They want to put on a party dress and scream “Woo!” on a dance floor filled with strangers in gem-toned blouses in either Mexico or upstate. They want to know if they are wasting their time in this new relationshipish, and nothing offers up that information quicker than a weekend away together. There is no energy like the energy of the newly smitten.
You know who doesn’t need a plus-one? The married, engaged, or cohabitating. They live together. They see each other constantly. There could be no greater gift than allowing the coupled up a chance to flirt with strangers, watch bad hotel TV and order weird room service, and wake up blissfully alone in a king-size hotel bed. Oh God, and the person who’s left at home? They get the bigger gift , which is that they are alone at home.
If you are currently planning your wedding for next summer, consider this: You’re spending insane quantities of money to create the perfect romantic evening. You will have it, you are having it, you’re doing it, this is l’amour. And now two strangers making out in the bathroom are having it too. Isn’t that romantic?
