Is this a wedding or a class reunion?
A disgruntled wedding guest shared on Reddit’sWeddingforum that one of her friends from college is getting married and told her she could not bring her husband as a plus one. In fact, the bride and her fiancé decided that none of their college friends are allowed to bring their partners.
The guest wrote that the bride “basically explained that she wanted only college friends and no partners. None of our college friend’s husbands/fiancés are invited. However, school friends, family, work friends are having their partners attend.”

The woman clarified that her husband does not mind that he was not invited, however she does. She added that her and her husband have spent time with the couple on numerous occasions including, double dates, staying at each other’s houses and taking weekend trips. “So it’s not that they don’t know each other,” she wrote.
As for the upcoming wedding, the bride said she wants to focus on reuniting with her college friends without any distractions. She told the poster that it would be a “nice” opportunity for “college friends to catch up and spend the day together like we would have in college, without partners.”

Another pointed out that it was “very odd to invite some spouses” and not others. The commenter added, “She is lucky that you’d consider still going to it and that your husband’s cool with it. In fact your husband may be grateful.”
A third person wrote that it is unlikely the bride will have time to socialize on her big day, so her explanation does not check out. “She’s kidding herself if she thinks on her wedding day she’ll be able to hangout with any group of people other than the bridal party,” they noted.
A fourth, however, tried to give the bride the benefit of the doubt.
“Where I’m from it wouldn’t be uncommon for people to not get a plus one,” the person shared. “All my college friends didn’t invite plus ones to their weddings as we are a really large group of girls and we all went together. It was great fun. This would be similar to my partner’s football team, who have all attended weddings as a group not with their partners.”
