okay, so i would like to get some advice on a situation. here goes...

in my immediate family, there is my mom and dad (married 33 years), my oldest sister and her husband (married 19 years), my older sister and her husband (married 4 years), my younger sister and her boyfriend, and then there's me! i hate family functions, because i always feel like the odd ball out. thank god my sister has two sons ages 7 1/2 & 6 for me to play with.

my latest situation is that my cousin (who is younger than me), he is getting married in july. and i don't like going to weddings in the first place, mostly cuz i'm an introvert and cuz i don't dance. but i live with my parents and they will be going, so there's no way i can get out of it.

i was thinking i could bring someone with me to the wedding, so that i didn't have to feel so alone. but i don't have a boyfriend! and the closest "guy friend" i have actually does have a girl-friend, which doesn't matter to me at all. but if i asked him to come with me, it would be the 1st time i brought a guy to a big family function. not like i care what my relatives think and my family already knows him cuz we were in a singing group together in high school.

one big problem is that the wedding is a five-hour trip from where i live (that's one-way) and my "guy friend" lives three hours from me (one-way in the opposite direction). and i don't know if it would be too weird for him or not. so i'd just like to know what others have to say about what i should do. don't be afriad to speak your mind - i wanna hear it!
