A friend of my granddaughter is getting married soon. This is an older woman about my age and my granddaughter met her through her job. I have only met her 2 or three times. She has already had a private ceremony and now is going to have a big wedding. My granddaughter tells me she is going to invite myself and her brother to the wedding. I will not know any of the people at this wedding so I wasn't planning on going. But am wondering if I should for my granddaughter's sake. She is 21. would yu go to a wedding where you don't know anyone?

I think it's a personal choice. If you want to go b/c you think it would be fun and it's something you and your granddaughter want to do for fun, then go. But if your only going out of thoughts of obligation and you really don't want to go, then send a card and be done with it.
!!HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!

Hello dear deebomb. I think that you could either go or not since you are not familiar with the lady who is going to get married, but for the sake of your granddaughter's, I think that you may also choose to go since they are friends and you might be also that lady's friend.
But if it were the case that I were having, I might choose to have my granddaughter go instead of me going there for the wedding.

Sure, I'd go...why not?! First, this lady thinks enough of your granddaughter to invite you and her brother to the festivities. I think that's a very gracious offer and speaks well of both the lady, and your granddaughter. I've been to weddings where I pretty much knew no one but one member of the bridal party. What a great way to meet new people and have fun at the same time! I'm sure your granddaughter would be proud to have you in attendance as well as her brother, and since she mentioned it, it sounds like she'd really like you to go. Maybe SHE needs the support of you being there as well because she doesn't know many people there except for the bride.

My granddaughter will be taking her boyfriend as her guest. My grandson will be out of town. The wedding will be at 6 pm and probably go until long after dark. I don't do very good driving after dark and I wouldn't want to stay very late. I still haven't decided. Thank you for your input.

Sure, why not. You say the woman is around your age.I'd look at it as an opportunity to meet new people. Aside from that your grandaughter will be there. Worse comes to worse its a chance to gussie up and put on your dancing shoes. Have a good time.
