Wedding season is back. Don't go alone.
The muhurats resume on 21 November and the questions start the moment you walk in alone. Say you're looking for a plus-one, find someone who is too, and meet for a coffee first — nobody should walk into a family function beside a stranger.
11 people have raised their hand so far.
How it works
- Say you're looking Tick “Looking for someone to take to a wedding” on your profile and name your city. Nobody sees which wedding, or whose.
- Find someone in the same position Everyone who ticked the same box near you shows up under Wedding plus-one. Quite often they have their own function the same month and need exactly the same favour.
- Coffee first, always Meet for a coffee or take a free video call before either of you agrees to three days of someone else's family. If it is awkward over coffee, it will be worse over dinner with your aunts.
Who does this
People whose friends are all getting married at once, anyone who has been asked “and when is your turn?” four times in one evening, and people new to a city who would rather not walk into a hall of strangers alone.
Where to meet
Meet somewhere public and ordinary first — a café, a mall food court, a park on a Sunday morning. Save the wedding itself for when you have actually met and both still want to go.
Cities

What is a plus-one on MeetBefore?
Someone who agrees to come to a wedding or family function with you as company. It is a normal meeting like any other here: you both agree, you meet for a coffee first, and either of you can say no at any point.
Isn't it strange to take someone I met online?
You would not. You meet for a coffee or a video call first, and if it does not feel right you do not go any further. The whole point of this platform is meeting properly before committing to anything, and a three-day wedding is a real commitment.
Do I have to pretend we are together?
No, and we would rather you didn't. Pretending to be a couple at a family wedding is how these arrangements go wrong. Go as company, say so if anyone asks, and enjoy the food.
Does it cost anything?
Browsing, messaging and intro calls are free.
