At my wedding, all but two of the guests were friends/family of my wife. I didn't know some of them, but was pleased they were there to share our big day. This might sound strange, but being dressed up in a hired suit with a nifty red-rose buttonhole made me feel like a different person, and I found it much easier to swan around smiling and shaking hands with people. I did prefer to be with my wife when we were greeting people, she did all the talking while I hovered in the background looking radiant!

As a guest, you're expected to stay in the shadows, everyones interest is focussed on the bride and groom. Just be pleased to have been invited, enjoy the food and drink, and just soak up the happiness - there ar few occasions in life where there's so much of it about.
