So there’s the “wedding boyfriend” that you meet the weekend of the wedding, hang out through the wedding reception, and effectively “break up” with at the end of the weekend. It’s a comfort zone and can be a natural date for the wedding.
But that’s not quite what happened to me; I met my boyfriend at a wedding over a year ago.
The great thing about meeting at a wedding is that you both have at least one thing in common - the bride or the groom. Both my boyfriend and I were close friends with the groom (he from college, me from law school), which automatically gave us both confidence that the other person was a good catch. We also had a natural conversation topic that allowed us to randomly start talking. (Or encouraged me to randomly approach him and start talking.)
If you’re on the look out to meet someone, the Finders Keepers Club advises women to go to a wedding along unless you’re in an exclusive relationship. They point out that a wedding is a natural place to meet a significant other because everyone is in a great mood, looks great, and each person has the bride or groom to vouch for them.
That said, you never know how things will work out! I definitely never thought I would meet anyone at that wedding and I’m sure my boyfriend didn’t think so either. But we were very lucky and here we are, over a year later.
I guess that’s the key: good luck! (Thanks S&S for having a wedding!)
