I am a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding which is out of town next week (very out of town for me)! I have already traveled twice to where the wedding is being held (once for the shower and once for the Bachelorette party and planning). I am single, but was invited to the wedding with a guest, so I am bringing a close friend. He has taken two day off from work and is flying the four hour flight to the wedding with me. I just got a call from my bride, saying that they wanted to keep the rehearsal dinner small, so they only want the bridesmaids to bring husbands if they are married, but no other dates. Three of the bridesmaids are married and the only other unmarried bridesmaid has a boyfriend who I know the bride has problems with. Maybe she's made this rule because trying to ensure that he doesn't come, but they both live in the town where the wedding is being held so it wouldn't put him out not to come.
I feel in a really awkward position now. What is my date supposed to do? He doesn't know anyone from the town and won't have a car, since we are flying. He is taking off of work, flying to another part of the country, and putting out money to come to this wedding, so I feel like he should be invited, however, I've only ever been in one wedding before and don't know the etiquette. What should I do?
