Excellent Host

Any of you that have read my previous questions will know and understand this has been one thing after another.

I am unable to attend my best friends wedding (read previous posts if you like) so I volunteered to host the stagette due to her not really knowing any of the wedding party. I was supposed to converse with the new MOH in details. She wanted a limo, a pre-party and then the bar. The cost of the stagette was rocketing and I told the new MOH I couldnt afford this much. So we worked out a solution to cost. I was to pay a portion of the limo/drinks but I would through the pre-party and supply food/decor.

So Tues. I had a big dental appoint. Lots of work done. Wed. I woke up with a sore throat. I emailed bride Wed night – told her about dentist and said it may be that or I may be sick. If I am getting sick do you still want me there since wedding is so close. Didnt hear back. Thought she hadnt read the email. Comps went down at work and I had to pull OT time Thurs.
So I call her late Thurs when I get home since I am feeling better. Said -not to worry. All is well. (Only reason I told her to begin with is in case I was then I wouldnt be giving her absolutely zero notice) She informs me she “freaked out” and got the girls to change it to someone elses house.

I already bought tons of food, decorations, spent hours planning games etc. I was like why would you do that without talking to me??? They wont switch it back though. And the girls all got pissed at me for “backing out” and went and bought decorations and food without even telling me! I am not even invited to help decorate. They told the bride they dont give a F” what I want since I am such a poor friend. Now I have all this food and stuff we dont need that I cant take back! (Platters etc.)

The girls are all being horrible to me and I dont even know if I should go tonight anymore. I was even informed that one of them is probably going to put me down all night and to “ignore her”. Advice?

Chosen Answer:

Your “friend” is being anything but. What a horrible person the bride is! At the very least, she (the bride…since she was supposed to be your friend, after all) should have called you and asked you how you were feeling….but I guess she never learned tact or consideration. What a bunch of peevy b!tches.

Sorry, but I would say take all the stuff over to the place and just walk in, dump it in the middle of the room, say “have a nice f**king life” and walk out. You don’t need these sorts of people in your life. How RUDE!

This is the exact reason I DESPISE “stagette” or bachelorette parties. And it’s also the reason I hate how catty and snotty women get when they’re getting married. What the hell gets into people these days?
And before anyone assumes differently, I have been married twice, and neither time was I EVER a freakish jerk like so many bridezillas are!!
