a bit upset
First, yesterday FH was on the phone to his best man who lives overseas. He's known for a year that we were getting married. He's known for a year he's the best man. Now he's telling FH that it 'looks a bit dodgey' that he and his girlfriend are coming to the wedding!!!
HELLO YOU'RE THE BEST MAN! He told FH that he is looking to buy a house and wants to get married himself in a year or two. Hey that's great. But that's also not fair to commit yourself a year ago and now tell us you might not be able to make it???? As for money issue, we are almost sure that they can stay with a friend of ours. So no hotel cost. Then he's asking for info about rental houses. Hello did we not tell you a friend is offering a room in his house for you? WTF? So what - when he gets married are we expected to fly over for his wedding??? We already have 2 to go to in Ireland in November AND December of 2004.
Then my father tells me last night that the Knights of Columbus lounge we were going to rent to use as a rehursal dinner (buffet style) may not be available now. Seems that another couple used it on a Friday night. They dind't close it off for the group so it was already sort of busy by the time they got there. They said it was a party of 20. WEll 20 more showed up. The kitchen was understaffed by then and the bartender was runnign around like mad serving all these people. So the manager of the lounge said no more rehursal parties. This is AFTER we were told we could have one. Ours would be on a Thursday and we will limit it and just not invite others. I'm so upset now, FH didn't want to have a sit down dinner - our rehursal is 7:45pm as it is anyway and my bridesmaids dont' live on LI and two of them plan on going home that night so they can't stay late for a sit down meal. Taht's why a buffet was perfect, some could eat and some could just have a drink and leave if they had to or wanted to.
I'm more upset about the best man. I mean what the hell. It's just so rude to all of a sudden change your mind 5 months beforehand. He knew for a damn year about it and all of a sudden now he has to buy the house and get married? OK maybe that's a low shot but really. There's a thing called budgeting, we've had to do it for a year now, he should try it.
