The wedding is supposed to be the big day, but for some it's just an excuse to go on a romantic vacation with your new spouse once all the planning and socializing are over.

Dear Sugar,
I need some advice on the correct and most gracious protocol on asking about a plus-one to a wedding. I am a bridesmaid in one of my dear friend's wedding.
