That Dreadful Thing

My friend and former college roommate (known her since 2002-3) is getting married. Initially I was invited without a guest but then I told her I hate going to parties by myself. She then said I could bring a guest. So I was happy. Then I realized, eek. If I go, I will have to go out to the floor for the dreaded bouquet toss. I hate the bouquet toss. The last wedding I attended, I actually tried to hide from the bouquet toss. I just don't understand why the party needs to have people go on the floor who do not wish to participate. That part of the tradition needs to change.
