Wedding planner and venue owner Alison Rios McCrone helps solve your dilemmas, no matter how big or small, in a weekly agony aunt column. Dear Alison,. I’ve been invited to the wedding of a friend from my old job, and I’m really excited – but not for the reason you’d expect.

We were super close when we worked together and during lunch, she’d often share stories from her personal life, as friends do. A couple of months after we became close, she disclosed that one of her best friends is a famous singer. I love this singer and freaked out a bit when she told me – although in an attempt to be ‘cool’ I’ve played my adoration down over the years.

In the years we’ve been friends, the famous friend hasn’t been able to come to parties due to scheduling conflicts, but I’m assuming they’ll be at the wedding, as when my friend got engaged she mentioned that they would be a bridesmaid. I’m psyched about the opportunity to be in the same room as my idol, but I have a feeling that my friend would prefer all guests to just act like her friend is a normal person. I just don’t know if I’m capable of resisting a selfie request though, especially after a couple of glasses.
Would it be totally inappropriate for me to fangirl?. Thanks,. Weddings are joyful occasions – but they’re also incredibly stressful. Whether you’re a bride or groom, best woman or man, family member or friend of the couple, the run up to the big day can be very tense.
