Who is your favorite person to be seated next to/with at a wedding?
Please answer for both mixed/separate seating. Presumably if mixed and you came with SO, SO is obviously on the list, who else would you include? -------------------- Many people wish they could change their life, when all they really need to do is change their attitude towards life. - Sharon

Very much depends on who I know at the wedding. For example, at one wedding (mixed seating), I was happy to see I was seated with Hubby and his brother. This was great because (other than the chosson's immediate family) I didn't know anyone else.
At prior wedding (separate seating), I was happy to be at a table with other women my age, two of whom were friends and one of whom I'd carpooled with. If one of my brothers-in-law get hitched, I look forward to sitting with my SiL and MiL. Basically, I like sitting with people I know and am friends with. -------------------- "But it's a dry heat."

I have never been to a mixed wedding, so it's usually sisters if it's a family wedding, and friends if it's a friend's wedding (duh).

QUOTE (existwhere? @ Aug 20 2008, 10:48 PM) Family. Agreed. I'd rather sit next to my siblings (and siblings-in-law) than friends. Because with family I don't have to play (much) catch up and can just enjoy their company without feeling obligated to socialize. -------------------- דעלך סני לחברך לא תעביד

I've only been to two weddings where I was "seated" next to anyone, and at one everyone disregarded the place settings and sat wherever they wanted anyway.....

Also, at the weddings you go to is there assigned seating or 'pick your own seating'? -------------------- Many people wish they could change their life, when all they really need to do is change their attitude towards life. - Sharon

As long as you're not next to me, go right ahead.

I don't usualy go to weddings for a whole host of reasons.
especialy seperate seating ones. I'm already traumatized enough from hearing the kind of banter boys make amoungst themselves. and boys are just scary in general, more so when there arent' girls around them. -------------------- "well has beruria spoken"

I don't care, I'll have fun talking to anyone tbh. It's not a big deal. Besides usually you don't have a choice, you sit where you're sat.
The only time I've been to a separate seating wedding was in Gateshead. -------------------- Kabel et ha-emet mi-mi she-omro. "All is |
