Attending separate weddings

[Dippysnowoman]

I really don't think iabu but my friend can't believe I've even thought of doing this.
Basically me and dp have been invited to 2 weddings next year on the same day (would you believe it, none at all this year)
Neither are in our home town so can't split the day.
I suggested I go to one (my dear friends daughter) and he goes to the other (his old college pal). Is this really not acceptable?? Have been told it's bad manners or like I'm looking to take someone else instead of dp (I'm not)
Surely it's a perfect compromise?

Sounds really sensible & a real sign of a healthy relationship to me. Whoever has put a doubt in your mind, clearly has issues

Best solution.
It would nice if you could attend one wedding together but that would mean somone missing "their" wedding altogether.

We had a couple of married people attended out wedding on their own because their partner couldn't come. I was pleased they came

I was all for the whichever save the date came first we'd save if you get what I mean but they both arrived Tuesday.
We will both know plenty of people at each do we're attending and are both chatty outgoing folk so have no issues going alone.
Will drop both b&g a note explaining why only one of us is going.
