Girls like pink, Longbottom. Get used to it. They also like big weddings. But I don't know what you're worried about. If it's in Paris, you'll have girls responding here left and right begging to go. It'll probably be the most popular you've ever been in your life.
No one said you had to keep your date till death do you part, Longbottom. But the girls are right, if you don't show up with someone, someone will be shown to you.
Claws away, my sincere advice? Find a friend who'd never think of you romantically to go with, as friends. That'd keep you safe enough from meddling relatives. Hell, take Granger. Weasley would have a coronary and that's ALWAYS fun.
I have been told that posh families always invite everyone they are remotely related. You don't need a date. By their invitation, I suspect them to set you up with a young lady if you reply you will come with a ..err... companion. The pink is ghastly but if the bride wanted it to be pink, no one can stand resistence.
But Paris? I am jealous. I always wanted to visit the Louvre.
You are not going to be set up with someone. They merely put a nice young lady to your side to entertain you. No one is asking you for happily ever after with her.
Just go, have a good time and send me a postcard of the Jardin des Tuileries.
You might actually enjoy yourself, Longbottom. Since you're a distant relative of the bride, you won't be expected to make a speech, and there will be plenty of people there. You may not even need to find a date. These sorts of functions are the matchmaker's haven.
I'm really not any more outgoing than you are, Longbottom, but it's really not that terrifying to be introduced to someone, or even several someones. Make a bit of polite smalltalk, dance with the girls in question, and thank the girls for the dances before politely excusing yourself. That's all there is to it.
Find out if someone you're introduced to is interested in herbology. You're easily as knowledgeable about plants as the average person in my family and we've made a business out of that knowledge, so it's not as though you'd have to worry about making a fool out of yourself if you talked about that.
There are quite a few people I know personally who would give their right arm for that invitation, my future sister-in-law included. Count yourself lucky, Longbottom.
I find it hard to believe that you can't find someone willing to accompany you to one of the most talked about weddings of the season.
Considering the function and the other guests likely to be on the invitation, your best bet will be to ask someone from a nice, purebred family, no offense meant to anyone not of pureblood. If you do choose to ask someone of half- or lesser blood, it may be awkward for either them, or you, because there will most likely be gossip about it.
Miss Weasley does possess what I would deem the appropriate breeding necessary.
If you take someone, at least you will know them and have someone to talk to. But if this is as popular as Pansy says, then it might be easier to take yourself then to try and talk with someone who is not interested.
That would be expected and probably nicest. But sometimes people find themselves so befuddled by the idea of something material that they loose sight of their fellow persons. I hope that you find someone who is interested in you for you.

You know, my solitary existence is quite fine and dandy, thank you very much. And safe.

But the point it, I don't want to be set up with anyone.
And apparently I have to go. Damn. At least I can bloody well dance!

Unless you know someone else who would go with me?
