There's a longer explanation that goes with this, which I'll be back with later to explain...
Imagine you were attending the wedding of an old, close-ish friend (known each other a while, keep in touch fairly regularly, etc.). You're invited with "and guest." You either don't have a significant other or your significant other cannot attend the wedding with you. Do you:
-- Go alone?
-- Bring a random friend as your guest?
-- Don't go at all?
-- Snowflake of the special variety?
(I can't make it clicky for some reason...)
Re: +1 Poll
Honestly, if I wasn't going to know anyone there, I'd bring a friend with me, since they "and guested".
If I was going to know other people there, then I might go alone.

Would it change your answer? For hypothetical reasons, I said you either "didn't have a sig. other or your sig. other couldn't attend with you" (as in he was busy).
But, in the situation I'm basing this on, the person who was "and guest-ed" recently broke up with someone (so, they are single now).

Sorry - I think I missed that part on first read.
I think I'd go alone provided I know others going.

I would probably just go alone. If it is an old close friend, more than likely I am going to know at least a few other people there.

Married
Thanks for your replies.
The quick reader's digest version of the story:
Bride and invited guest (IG) have been friends a long time. IG knows a good chunk of guests coming to the wedding, but isn't super close with any of them. Bride asks IG if she's dating anyone and would be bringing him to the wedding. IG replies and asks if she can bring another person they've mutually known a while -- an uninivited guest (we'll call this guest X). X is, in light terms, a "problem acquantaince." Bride is now uncomfortable -- IG did ask if it was OKAY to bring X, but Bride doesn't want X at her wedding, but she won't tell IG not to bring her knows it's bad ettiquette (can't dictate +1s) and she doesn't want to hurt IG's feelings.
Bride and I were chatting and she said to me "Have you ever heard of someone just bringing a random friend instead of a date to a wedding? Isn't that weird?" and I said "Well, I know exactly who to ask!..."
Hence the poll
