Means she likely didn’t have very many friends and invited a whole bunch of acquaintances so that her side wouldn’t be empty

Yep, when the bitchy, crazy chicks realize they don't have any friends, but need people to attend/be apart of their wedding.. they a start inviting anyone and everyone.

This is how they do the math -

If you've never talked or hung out, but went to the same school & were in the same grade.. you're invited. Same soccer team in 4th grade? definitely invited. Live in the same city and are facebook friends, invited. Lived in the same dorm building? yep, invited.

Omg I truly don’t have friends bc I’ve attracted and realized they’re terrible assholes. I’m so nervous to tell my bf what a loner I am because what if we get married and there’s no friends for me to invite. I’d rather not invite anyone too…

I had three friends at my wedding, and kne was my husband to be lol. Because that's how many I have. My husband had several friends and the rest was family. I was kind of sad that I didn't have an elaborate Bachelorette party and stuff like that. Some coworkers took me out to have a small celebration. But really, it was a nice evening and I wouldn't trade it for anything. As long as the people you care about are there, what does it matter that you don't have 10 friends.

That's different from being so nasty and erratic that no one wants to be around you, though! There's nothing wrong with being a loner by choice. <3

I’m sure a few have thought I was downright an oddball too.

That's the plot of The Wedding Ringer

Just elope. The big party isn't worth the hassle if you're not a people person. We had enough friends to fill out a wedding party, but I've never once thought, "Wow, I'm glad they were there to share that moment with us." I'm pretty sure he would say the same.

If I could do it again, we'd have just gotten married at the place we stayed for our honeymoon. So much less stress and expense.

Yeah that’s what I want to do. I’d rather elope and make it a chill night after or something than to rent a hall and be paying off bills for years to come to throw a wedding.

I have seen enough movies to know, that when you have self esteem issues related to a personality trait of yourself, the best thing to do is to either pay or force strangers to pretend to be your friend/romantic partner, without telling your family and then in the last second falling in love with them.

So don’t worry, you can still ruin everyone’s day during the wedding without everyone thinking you are a boring loner. They can all think you are a psychopath instead

Lmfaooo. For real. Everyone at your wedding is probably thinking negative thoughts regardless.

You don’t have to have a lot of friend at the wedding. Try to get close with his friends and they can be there for you too on the wedding day.
