So I went to a wedding this weekend, a busy wedding in California.

I was excited about this wedding. To be perfectly transparent,

when I was invited, it motivated my dating era because when I got the invitation aligned with when

I started dating. And I was thinking, oh my God, I just would love to have a great date for this particular wedding.

It's going to be such a beautiful wedding.

It's going to be so elite.

But you don't want to bring the wrong date.

You'd rather go alone, dare I say it, and maybe meet someone than bring the wrong date.

But going to a wedding alone can be depressing.

And it's not just going to the actual event

alone. It's the whole weekend. Like, who's your partner, your wing person, your wingman,

get the rent a car, what's your hotel room? Like, what are you doing during the day? It makes you

feel connected, okay? So, but I was never going to just bring any date because I wouldn't

disrespect the bride and groom because not everyone's invited

with a date and, you know, a date has to have meaning. And honestly, I don't know that I would

have gone without a date. I don't know. I'm sure I would have because I love the people. But like,

I was at a vulnerable place in my life. My mother had just passed away, gone through a breakup.

Like, I don't actually know. And this is going to be a cop out and sound elitist, but you know me,

I'm always going to be honest with you. As a public person, I do get approached at these types of

events and there are hundreds of people and I sort of want a wing person. And I do believe that

that's part of the reason I was invited with a date

because they know that everyone's going to be coming up to me, which they did anyway. Not everyone.
