First, you need to have a positive attitude. Consider that some people complain "What a dull party, just the same ancient faces." If you don’t know anyone, then you have even more chances to meet new and fascinating people, to show these people how fascinating YOU are. You just get your self confidence firmly into place, walk up to someone with a smile and grasp at ready, and say "Hello, I’m Linda Rapolo. I went to high school with the bride." If this person isn’t as gracious and forthcoming as you, then to heck with them, and go on to someone else. If this person is welcoming and forthcoming, it’s perfectly natural and acceptable to mention that you don’t know anyone and question if they could introduce to a few people. Remember to introduce yourself to people much grown-up or much younger than yourself, to both men and women, and not just to potential dance partners. And remember that there is nothing incorrect with just standing alone for 10 minutes taking pleasure in watching others dance or in watching your friend be pleased. Whatever you may be feeling inside, make sure your outside tells the other guests that you are pleased to be there and are enjoying yourself. No one wants to meet a sourpuss.
When my husband and I were about three months into our dating, my brother-in-law invited me to his wedding. The only other people I knew where his sisters and his mom. I just went up to their friends and family members and talked to them. I had a lot of fun.
i wouldnt worry at all plenty of people go to weddings alone, more than likely they will sit you on a table with people you can mingle with easily so just go with an open mind and dont be worried to talk to people on your table! you neve rknow you may find a new friend for life or even more!
as for the ceremony etc there isnt much talkin to be dont while they say vows so that parts covered!
just make sure you dont get too drunk otherwise youl look like the lonely drunk girl inthe corner, just place on a smile and mingle!
I have a couple of times she will place you at a table most likely with others who are single or who she invited alone talk to them there dance with her sister and have a wonderful time, in life you will be place in this situation more then once and as you get grown-up you can handle it better.
take care and have fun
you just have to talk to people. sit by someone in the church or wherever she’s getting married and talk to them, like obviously not owing to the wedding, but you know what i mean, like when you are waiting or a touch. & at most weddings for the after bit, when they have a meal, normally the tables are in a seating plot aren’t they? so she might of placed you by some of her friends or maybe by her parent & sister who you know :] if you don’t find anyone to talk to, don’t stay for the party bit, say you have to go because you’re busy or a touch. i’m sure it will be fine.
It is a trying felling, if u really wanted to go you have to face this……..on the other site once u enter i the wedding hall first ten minutes will be different you might feel cut off…..you will find some company then it will be ok………………….
I would suggest that when you arrive you straight away walk up to a forthcoming looking group of people and question if a seat near them is taken. Then just plonk yourself down and question the obvious ice breaker "So how do you know the bride and groom?"
I can’t rememberr ever attending a wedding where there weren’t at least two or three singles. It’s just the nature of weddings; they’re too expensive to invite a lot of people so brides and grooms end up inviting just their best friends from lots of different places.
Just remember that everyone is friends with your friend and there to have a excellent time, no one will reckon you look silly.
I wouldn’t worry about it, if I was you.. The excellent thing about weddings is that there is a protocol, so you will be entertained. Au d’veurs, the first dance, the toast, the lunch or dinner break, cake, the garter, bouquet, you get the picture. So when you are sitting at the table just look confident at all times and make small conversations with other people at your table, introduce yourself, you will be fine..!
Lots of people go solo to weddings- in fact, I’ve heard many people say that they met their significant other at a wedding they attended as a single guest! Just be yourself, mingle and chat with whoever you sit next to at your table, and get out there and have fun on the dance floor. No need to be bashful- nobody’s really paying attention to anyone but the bride and groom. Nobody will single you out or reckon you’re odd except you do a touch truly inappropriate and over-the-top, like get excessively drunk or wear a touch really inappropriate or a touch. If the bride knows her stuff, open fire on purposely sit the singles at a table together so they can kind of form a bond. You’ll be fine! Have fun.
i’m going to a wedding alone today too!! i know no one..but the bride and her sister
im just going to support them… it’ll be fine. i hope!! excellent luck with u.
