We always want to be welcoming and accommodating to friends and family. Even when they show up to our homes unannounced.

For all the joy that weddings bring, not all invited guests look forward to attending weddings. Namely, the single guests, as it’s hard not to feel even more alone than usual when being single at a wedding.
