One of my fiance's groomsmen has a girlfriend (been with just under a year). She's 18, he's 24 (don't get me started). We're trying to decide if we should invite her or not. We're allowing my other fiance's groomsmen bring his girlfriend because they're serious and have been together longer and we know her a lot better. Our general rule is to not allow guests to bring guests unless they're in a serious, long-term relationship, living together or married. This guy doesn't live with her, so we're torn on what this qualifies as.
Also, this particular groomsmen is very weird when his girlfriend is around. As in, he's unfocused on anything but her and doesn't socialize when she's around. It's very weird, but he's very immature for his age (he's a good guy, though).
What would you guys do in this situation? We're leaning toward no because we've only met her once for about a minute and don't really want to pay for her meal. But on the other hand, we don't want to offend him if he says, "Well, so-and-so got to bring HIS girlfriend." I think he would respect our decision either way, but we want to make the right now.
