One of my best friends and bridesmaids lives a few states away. I went to visit her and some other friends this weekend and got to meet her new boyfriend (of one month). He was a nice guy! No real complaints. After meeting him (hung for less than an hour) my friend asked me straight to my face "So do I get to bring him?" I was pretty taken aback and just stuttered something like "Oh we're still figuring out final numbers"
What do I do here? We're mailing invites on labor day weekend, so that gives the relationship more time to figure out if it's serious or not. However, her and her BF are from a different state and know virtually no one where I am/the wedding is. She'll be with me all day getting ready and I'm not sure what he would do. Not to mention, he's virtually a stranger and being a plus one of a bridesmaid puts him on the trolley with the bridal party to/from reception, at the head table, in pictures, etc.
This is definitely not a thing of me not liking him. He was fine. My friend always makes relationships out to be more serious than they are, so I'm just trying to navigate it. If I don't invite-- how do I phrase it? Only two of my bridesmaids have plus ones and they are a husband and a boyfriend of 4 years that she lives with.
