Vent alert!

One of my mothers friends went out to the North Fork for a romantic weekend with her husband. She took it upon herself to go look at every hotel I suggested in the Save the Date and send me a detailed review of every place mentioning several of them as 'crappy' and to actually suggesting NEW ones to sent to my guests!

Then, she ate at the place I am having my rehersal dinner (supposedly, my mother asked her to try it out-this annoys me also. My mother is not paying for the RD - why the hell is she asking people to taste the food!) and told me that I shouldn't have the dinner there because her burger was overcooked!

I am fuming - who the hell is she? Like I have not invested a million hours into researching everything I have sent out and like I don't have my reasons for picking certain hotels?!

I just want to scream - i hate people and their opinions. Usually, i can brush them off, but this one is just INFURIATING!

someone just told me I am overreacting and I need to ignore this woman and let it go. NOT EASY as we all know.

Thanks for listening ladies, I feel better already.

tell her thank you for the reviews and that you're glad she won't be there at the wedding to experience it again..

Re: Am I overreacintg?

you are not over reacting at all. But it was a bit ballsy of your Mom to ask her to do that. Next time your Mom asks if you are changing the restaurant simply say 'no I'm not - I thouroughly researched my choices and I am not going to change restaurants based on a BURGER review'!
