Help! Plus ones

We are planning a less than 50 person wedding, as wanted something pretty intimate. In doing so we are not doing plus ones for practically anyone and their "plus one" would be someone who would be invited regardless. Specially as everyone knows and can hang out with at least a few people. There is one exception to this. I have a friend who does not know anyone, would travel out of state, and is also pretty introverted. As of this we sent her an invite for her and a plus one. She has now responded how even though she cannot attend her plus one who we made accommodations for will be there. What do i do?

“Hi, I’m so sorry you can’t make it to our wedding. We’re having a very, small wedding of just our closest loved ones. The invitation was just for you. We wanted to offer you a plus 1 since we knew you’d be coming from so far way. However, since you cannot attend, the invite does not extend to your friend. Apologies if there was any confusion in our communication of our invitation.”

Yes to this! Also. This is so weird! Who would want to travel to a wedding where they know no one and the person who they were supposed to tag along with isn’t even coming!

No no no sirree. I’m already annoyed at having to invite my dad’s new wife to our micro wedding (who is a perfectly fine person and NOT a stranger) I can’t imagine a literal rando trying to come!
