My husband and I are pretty social people and we don't mind going to a wedding where we hardly know anyone. I personally think that if a friend of mine got married and my husband hardly knew anyone at the wedding, I would tell him its his choice.

That's the question. Is your DH social and wouldn't mind being near new people? Some guys are fine with that and some guys it's like having a root canal for them.

If DH DID come, he'd bring a small sefer and make good use of his time. It's not social, though . . .

If it is a good friend & you know that you will remain friends, live close by to e/o then it would be nice for dh to go. This is an opportunity for your friends dh's to all meet e/o.That will help you maintain the friendship.

when we were just married, my husband had a lot of friends in yeshiva that were BH getting married and the weddings were separate and I hated going b/c I knew nobody, not one female and I always had a terrible time. then I talked to my husabnd and explained to him that the whole evening is just one big bad time for me and so, we agreed for now on, I would only come if there was a chance that I knew some female (almost never) and we would always go to a mised wedding (gosh how I love those soooooooooo much more as does my husband :>)
I dont have any friends who would have separate seating so it was just a one way thing to overcome together.

I wouldnt ask my husband to come just as I wouldnt like it to ask me to go. In my marriage, we had an unspoken agreemnt. We only went to family simchas together.

I wish I also didn't have to go to the mixed weddings w/ Dh either. I guess it's rude, but it's hard with a baby trying to mingle with people you don't know. Or conversely, worrying about your baby while he's with the sitter/grandma and trying to mingle with people you don't know. I guess I just don't like mingling with people I don't know anymore.
