1 in 4 people who met someone at a wedding end up dating?!
Wedding season is here and if you’re single, it’s one of the best places to meet people! Dating.com did a poll and found that bringing a date might not always be a good idea. 54% of people have regretted it and wish they’d gone solo. So why do we feel so pressured to bring a date in the first place? 63% said they just prefer to avoid their friends and family asking if they’re dating anyone. Lay off Aunt Carol! 27% said they’ve ended up dating someone they met at a wedding before. And one in five of those people said they went on to MARRY them. There you have it. Ditch Bumble and get in a wedding party!
