Going to someone's wedding you haven't met?

[Issey]

my new b/f has invited me to his neice's wedding which is 6wks away, i have not met her or my b/f's family as we haven't been together long but I see a future with us :fingerscrossed:

I am happy and flattered that b/f has asked me but I am worried as I don't know her. I can only assume it is ok that b/f brings me. Should I ask him if he has checked with his neice and should I try to meet her first so she knows who I am?

How would you feel about this situation if you were me or if it was your wedding. :confused::confused:

I think if his invite has "his name and guest" on it then there should be no problems with it. See if he can organise for you to meet some of his family first if that would make you feel more comfortable.

I think it lovely that you have a new man and I think it will be fine to attend the wedding. It will be a nice way for you to meet the family in a happy atmosphere. Have a great time.

I was in this situation so many times in the first year of meeting DP. All his friends decided to get married that year and I was invited along to all of them. It was certainly one way to get to know all his mates! :laughing:

Weddings are good though. There are usually people who don't know everyone, plus you get put on tables and usually end up chatting away with the people on them. A little bit of alcohol doesn't go astray either ;)

I have only know b/f since Easter so this invite gives the :thumbsup: thumbs up I hope :)

I agree!

We invited girlfriends of guests to our wedding, several of whom I had never met. only those who we knew were in commited relationships. That might be a good sign about how he views your relationship too. Has told his family lots of good things and therefore your invited:)

My now Dh met my extended family at a funeral, I know We would have much preferred the wedding:D
