Today I found myself in a slightly awkward position. I became a wedding crasher.
Dan and I are in Southern England while he attends a business meeting. I am reaping the rewards by staying in a lovely hotel and relaxing. After a nice breakfast, I wandered into the hotel library to get a bit of work done and noticed that everyone was very dressed up. In fact, a few men had flowers pinned to their lapels...hmm...
As I continued to look around, I noticed the guitar player set up in the corner; two little children in adorable matching suits and a man with a very nice camera moving around the room. Yeah...I was in the middle of a wedding.
I had already parked myself on the sofa in the library, which was adjacent to the actual ceremony and reception. As any typical Generation Y'er would do, I posted my dilemma on Facebook. Some of the responses I got are priceless:
In case you can't read them, my favorite pieces of advice were:
In the end, I just stayed where I was and watched the happy couple mingle with their friends. Sadly, there wasn't any free food and I abstained from the champagne, but it was a lovely way to spend a morning :)

In case you can't read them, my favorite pieces of advice were:
- Act like I know the bride and groom, wish them congrats and go straight to the appetizers
- Run up to the groom and act like it's his baby I'm carrying
- Scan the room for Vince Vaughn
- Stand up and make a toast
