Bridesmaid in wedding - what will my boyfriend do?
I will be a bridesmaid in my brother's wedding which is in another state. My boyfriend of 2 years was not chosen to be in the bridal party but was invited to the wedding. Everyone my boyfriend knows is in the bridal party (My parents and me), or are are only going to the church. The bride will be having a limo for the entire bridal party. Where does this leave my boyfriend? He doesn't know the area or anyone else there. Because this is a serious relationship, and a very special day for me, I want him there. My mother gave me this advice and I would like a second opinion: Since my parents and I will be leaving from here, he can ride with us to where the bride/ bridesmaids will be dressing and getting pictures. My parents will ride in the limo and I would follow the limo in my car with my boyfriend. After the church, I would again follow the limo to where the pictures will be taken and then follow it again to the reception area. Would it be an issue or rude if I didn't ride in the limo with the rest of the bridal party but was there for everything else that way my boyfriend has a way to get around and doesn't feel completely lost in a foreign city?

You will be expected to ride in the limousine with the rest of the bridal party. Your boyfriend is an adult and can make his way around, I'm sure. But, if he has a problem navigating he could probably follow the limo in his own car. He should know that he will probably not be seated with you and will be expected to entertain himself for the ceremony, picture taking, cocktail hour and, at least, the beginning if the reception since you will be busy with your brother, giving him the attention he and his bride deserve from you. This will give your boyfriend a good opportunity to meet other family members and friends. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
