"My boyfriend is attending a wedding without me" - Tumi

Loading player...
A listener has found herself in a dilemma and she is feeling some kind of way about it.
Here's the story: Her boyfriend was invited to a three-day wedding extravaganza. He broke the news that not only is she not invited to the wedding, but he was fine with it. As it turns out, guests are not allowed to bring a plus one.

And she's furious. Is she the one in the wrong? Should she not be bothered? Or is her anger totally justified?

Stacey and J Sbu wanted to discuss this seeing as they have a very special team member's wedding coming up, our very own sports presenter Nick Tatham!
Now since invitations originally started going out there has been a new development.
Someone's relationship status has changed and they have to ask Nick if they can bring along their new boo when originally there was going to be a different plus one...

Will Nick, and more importantly his wife-to-be, say yes?
