Annoyed

[LaceyinPgh]

Sean just called. Apparently on Saturday night his friends want to have him over to play cards and hang out. That is fine. I don't care if Sean plays cards and hangs out with his friends. But the thing that annoys me is that first of all, this was just sprung on us. We already had plans made for the Saturday night before the wedding. We were meeting with some other friends to go and get dinner and go see the new DiVinici Code movie. We have had this planned since Christmas. Secondly, who just plans something for your evening without consulting you one week before your wedding? Didn't it occur to these people that Sean and I might be a little bit busy.

Now Sean is mad at me because I am being difficult. I'm not being difficult. Our already standing plans have been in play for 5 months. We have a group of people looking forward to it. But they can all be screwed over because Sean's friend wants to drink beer and play cards. Sean feels that he should go to this because that friend is looking forward to it and is renting a tux after all to be in the wedding. Well that is really nice of him. But in the group going to the movies with us are two girls who bought bridesmaids dresses, a man who is also renting a tux, and my mother who bought her own dress, my dress, AND all my accessories. So why is their financial responsibility any less than someone elses?

I'm so sick of everyone's :censored: !

Hi Lacey,
I am so sorry :bbcry: that you are going through all of this :censored: . At a time like this you really don't need any added stress. I am not sure what else to tell you. Is there any compromise that you and Sean can come up with? Can they change the nite that Sean hangs out with his friends. I do understand your point about having plans already with the other group, and I agree!
Hope this all works out, let us know if you need anything else!

KMac :cool:

Who makes plans without asking the Saturday before you wedding you ask? Men....lol. I'm sure they have that "deer in the headlight" look if you tell them that you already have plans - they seem to have no clue.

That would tick me off too. Can't they play cards and drink beer on Friday?

No actually they can't. We have plans for Friday night as well with Sean's sister and brother in law. His sister is just now getting out of her first trimester and actually feels like getting out of bed and moving for the first time in about 3 months. I'm not cancelling on her.

[StaceyMc]

Nope - can't cancel on the pregnant girl - I'll bet she's really looking forward to going out. Sean's friends should have thought ahead.

What is it with men, beer, and cards? They think those are the three most important things in life? I feel for you Lacey and know where you are coming from.

I'm sorry lacey. That is really fustrating! I've heard alot about surprises so that we didn't feel like it was something eles we had to attend. However they have kinda not always been at the best time.
I was never consulted about mark's party either. However.... it wasn't the last weekend before the wedding. Can the guys hang out on Sunday at all? Might not be as late.... but somthing has got to give.
Take Care.

Hey Lacey.....this almost sounds like a surprise Bachelor party.

Hey Lacey.....this almost sounds like a surprise Bachelor party.
Too bad for him that he isn't going. He decided that it would be smarter to hold to the original plans.

[StaceyMc]

Sean is a smart man.

Sean is a smart man.
I absolutely have to agree!
