Tell them your significant other couldn't make it as she's at a PETA protest.

It is so complicated, ya'll, and it doesn't even have to be.

Go, have a great time and snag a groomsman and make the walk of shame the next day.

Go by yourself and have fun! And when and if they ask questions such as, "Why don't you have a date?" or "Why aren't you seeing anyone?" just respond politely with a smile and ask, "Why do you really need to know?"

If they don't take the hint and choose to persist, I usually find a firm but polite comment of something along the lines of, "I'm very content with my life as it is, thank you," or anything else along those lines will get them to back off. After the comment, I usually excuse myself, as well, and find someone more exciting to speak with.

It's worked every time, and I always end up having a wonderful time. And really, you never know who you might meet--friends of family, friends of friends, even strangers in a resort town--it could be much more fun than you're anticipating!

Ladyjuju, I suppose I should be thankful that no one asks me those types of questions at a wedding, but I dread going to them anyway. They are so, so, so boring for me. I don't know if I find anything else more boring. I am always the only one close to my age that doesn't bring a date and all I can think about when I'm there is how soon I can leave. I would honestly prefer not to go to any more, unless it is for a close relative.

I'm sorry; it looks like you're stuck - at least for this one.

Date or no date, it's all your call ... relatives be damned! I wouldn't think twice about needing an escort to ward off discussion you'd rather not have. Weddings are generally lots of fun, especially if the crowd isn't stuffy. Go single and have a ball!

Now, if you want a date and can't manage one, give a holler. Fun times in a resort town and I need a vacation. No need to twist my arm any further If you can keep a straight face, you may never forget this wedding.

Don't worry about what people will be saying at the wedding. Just go and enjoy yourself. If they persist in asking when you are going to get married come back with as soon as you have your next baby. Good luck

Ha!
When I was about 8 or 9 years old, I once declared at a family gathering that I was going to get a good job, have a baby but only if it was going to be fun to play with (I didn't realize I could just get a cat for those purposes at the time), then get married, but if I didn't find anyone cute enough to marry then, I would simply marry my father. Most of my family laughed. My grandmother fainted. True story!

My family was digging up old home movies the other day, and they found a video of when I was 7, and they asked me "So what do you want to be when you grow up?", and I said, "A daddy!"

Holy smokes, hope my girl doesn't see that one... she'll have babies even more on the mind.

Doesn't sound like you are all that opposed to the idea...

I would go alone and enjoy every minute of it. Have a few (or more) drinks, people watch (I love that), let your hair down and have fun.
