Think of it like this: essentially, you
are hosting a party. You want all of your
guests to feel comfortable, since that will
make the evening more enjoyable for
everyone. Your friend probably would
not have asked if she didn’t think it could
potentially cause a problem. If seating
her somewhere else does not interrupt
your entire seating arrangement, you
should put her somewhere else. And
if moving her to a new table is just not
an option, then the two should not be
seated next to each other.

One night they just happened to go to the same bar to watch a football game. Not feeling well, Jessica thought it would just be a quick trip out with her friends. “I promised my mom I would be back in 30 minutes but I was gone for four hours, talking to the man of my dreams at this beautiful outdoor bar,” Jessica remembers. The couple went on a date that lasted the whole day right before Keith headed back to Chicago. “He asked to take me out to dinner the following week when we both would be back in Chicago. We ended up seeing each other three times before that actual date,” Jessica says. They have been dating ever since. After graduating, the couple moved into a place on the beach. An evening stroll seemed like any other night, but it wasn’t. After almost a mile of walking, Keith stopped Jessica to ask her one of the most important questions of her life. “I couldn’t even tell you the strings of spoken words he proclaimed to me, because my heart was beating 500 times a second,” Jessica says. “That night, Keith had the most fantastically romantic dinner planned at Caretta on the Gulf in Clearwater Beach. My parents had sent over a bottle of champagne, truffles, and chocolate covered strawberries. We were on cloud nine.” 82 IN BLISS
