The venue coordinator suggested that it is normal to just have some people stand and could be a good money saver, but is it rude? It's only for the ceremony, they would be different seating available for the reception and the ceremony itself will be less than 10 minutes

It was recommended to me by the venue coordinator and while I would love to save some cash, I haven't been to very many weddings and I'm not sure if it would be appropriate

There's a wedding of a family friend which I wasn't actually sent an invitation to attend but the other side of my family is going. I know that verbally they invited me but I haven't had an invitation as the other side of my family has. Should I still attend or will I look like I'm intruding?

My fiancee and I would like to elope but we can't find a buidling for it. We will use a friend's father, who is certified by the state, as our officiant and so, he doesn't have a place for it. But since it will be quick, couple minute ceremony, there aren't too many places willing to have us. So, what kinds of places should I look into contacting and asking about using a room or place for a few minutes for this to take place? We prefer somewhere inside, since we would like to do it in February and we are also located in Utah, in case there are any locals who have been in this situation

Something they can use it wear?

We are both virgins, but she got fingerf*cked by a teacher in 10th grade. She also blew her cousin (didnt know it was her cousin. Friends tricked her with a gloryhole). I have gotten over these things but she still wants to invite the teacher and cousin. Will it be awkward?

im a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding but we really don't get along too well its more of a frenemy situation and I have been trying to distance myself from her. its the type of the thing where she wants me to fail and only wants to hear bad stories nothing good about my life. she has been demanding and pushing a destination bachelorette party, first saying a cruise, then florida, the other girls had said no they can afford it and I said a cruise is a bit much. At the same time her fiancé booked a destination bachelor party which just lit a fire under her because as she says she has to beat him and wont be sitting around here doing the same thing while hes on a vacation. so she went crazy and pushing nashvilee, I was at work and not looking at my phone and had like ten texts saying theyre just waiting for me and can book it (this was week before New years eve) I caved and said fine just book it. However now I really really don't want to go, I have had issues with drinking and im honestly scared to go and drink, and that is what the entire trip will be, pub crawls and late nights. I also don't have anyone there who will be supportive of me that I can go back early with or even talk to really. is there anyway I can not go without causing a huge issue? (I would still pay for my plane ticket, then they got a house so maybe not that part?) I also don't even know what I would say. I could never say im nervous to drink because it would become a huge gossip topic in my family.
