Ask FondA
DEAR FONDA
,
we have a big guest
list but a small budget – would it
be rude to invite friends and not
give them a plus one, even if it
means only inviting one half of a
married couple?
I think most people will assume you’re
cheap anyway, especially when you just
take the name badge off your work
uniform, throw a
cravat on
it and call it a
morning suit.
Only inviting one
person from each couple will spare a
good number of people from the
ordeal of dancing in a village hall to
an iPod shuffle hooked into a
stereo, while trying to curb their
hunger on Iceland sausage rolls
and a family pack of Hula Hoops.
In fact why not spare all your friends
the cheap wedding and just go for a
register office and a great honeymoon.
You surely don’t need the 16 Argos
toasters that a large guest list usually provides.
DEAR FONDA
, my intended wants our pet pug
Achilles to be his best man. Help.
A dog as a best man – well they are man’s best
friend, so I suppose it makes sense. At least you
know with a canine best man there’s no chance of
him missing the wedding because he’s handcuffed
to a lamppost in Brighton, unless your lovely
Achilles cleaned up on Pets win Prizes.
Without a human best man you have one less
suit to rent and won't be upstaged by a
ridiculously handsome friend on your big day. Stop
