After they'd been dating three years-some of them long distance between New York and Washington, DC-Ruben Marinbach decided to propose to Rebecca Winship on a milestone vacation. "It was my 30th birthday, and we took a trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming with a bunch of our best friends," says Rebecca. On the birthday itself, the group were posing for a few photos in front of the Teton Mountains when Ruben got down on one knee.

When I first received an invitation to my friend's wedding in Tulum, Mexico, I was excited and honored to be included. Then, as I read the RSVP instructions, it hit me: I wasn't offered a plus-one.

I also knew the bride and groom had likely considered that I didn't have a serious partner at the time, and that our mutual acquaintances from college would make easy tablemates at dinner.
