Unconventional request
Edit: thank you all so much for your unwavering support. We cannot begin to explain how much this means to us. I thought this was a desperate attempt and we’d maybe get a few responses but you all have shown such an outpouring of love. Unfortunately we only had a couple of seats to fill and we have filled them but I wish I had a billion dollars to invite you all. Thank you again!
Hi everyone! I hope this doesn’t come across as completely insane, but I’m making a slightly unconventional wedding guest plea.
My fiancé and I are getting married in Philadelphia on Friday, September 18, and we’ve had a much harder time reaching our guest count than we ever expected. My fiancé is from Philly and we absolutely love the city, but unfortunately he doesn’t have any family left and my family are all traveling in from out of state. As a result, we’ve received significantly more “no” RSVPs than we anticipated.
This is a desperate, last-ditch effort to fill out our tables a little bit, we’re looking for 4–6 people (couples welcome!) who might be interested in coming to our wedding.
You’d get a free dinner, open bar, and an excuse to get dressed up and attend a wedding with a bunch of strangers. We’re hoping for people who are comfortable being social and having fun with a group of people they don’t know. Cocktail or formal attire would be appreciated, and I can give you the basic backstory on the groom so you don’t have to explain that you found us on Facebook.
I know this is a VERY unusual request, but I figured there’s no harm in putting it out there. If you’re local, love weddings, enjoy meeting new people, or just think this sounds like a funny Friday night adventure, please DM me!
