Lol, im serious but take the mick if you want.

I could take a female friend but my family knows the one's i could take, also, so does my aunts, cousins, and my sisters boyfriends and their families.

Were all quite close, but i could mention that ive recently met this woman etc..and take her to the wedding, then a month or so later tell my family it didnt work out between us.

I wont be able to take the shame of being alone at this wedding, its more than i can take, im pretty sure about this.

Where could i hire (lol) a female partner for the day?

Just for the reception, because i wont be going to the after party. So, thats all she'd have to sit through and pose as my girlfriend. No sex obviously (unless she's hot and she wanted to..), just for the reception.

Im not joking btw....
Thanks

    You family might know your close female friends, but your friends might have friends unknown to your family who they could suggest you take. Even better if they think you might get on well.....

    Don't do it!! It's a family wedding, so everyone will be very interested in your "girlfriend" - how you met, how long you've been together etc etc. Even if you manage to get through the day without your secret being uncovered, the follow-up questions will go on and on, and eventually someone will suss.....really, it just isn't worth it!

    Where abouts are you based? Take an MSE girl. It's very MSE to get a free meal at a wedding reception!

    South Coast.

    And the wedding is in September, so quite a long way off..
  • But if you rent somebody, then you might miss that chance with a stunning friend of a friend that has been invited, but didn't have somebody to go with because they're single, too.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    why not go alone? many do. just because the invite says Stamina and Partner it is not compulsory to take one! just let the bride know you wont be taking anyone so that the seating etc can be sorted out. I don't see the problem if you do that.

    can your guest for the wedding not just be a friend rather than a pretend girlfriend?

    Why is it such a big deal to attend a family wedding by yourself? You might meet someone at the wedding, friend of a friend etc. How many guests are there going to be?

    If you really want to go through with this then you could contact a professional escort agency.
