My Friday

I figured this might as well be its own post :-)

H is in a wedding this weekend.  And the wedding is in Gettysburg.  The rehearsal is late Friday afternoon, so he took the day off and is driving up to the groom's house that morning.  All of the groomsmen are meeting there first so they can carpool over for the rehearsal (the venue is an hour away from his house).  The rehearsal dinner is a BBQ at the venue and then the guys are all going back to the groom's house to drink beer, hang out at his pool, and do manly men sort of things (and by that, I mean probably having a KanJam tournament).  There are 10 groomsmen and 2 beds in the house, so H will probably be sleeping on the floor.

I was invited to the rehearsal, but I don't have PTO to burn like H does (gotta save it for Disney!).  I also think it would be nice for H to have some guy time before the wedding.  And I have no interest in sleeping on the floor.  Or trying to get ready for the wedding with 11 guys and 2 bathrooms.  Therefore, I am not going to the rehearsal.  I didn't really think it made sense for me to drive myself all the way to Gettysburg, though.  H's parents were invited to the wedding, so I decided to ask them if I could hitch a ride.  But then that meant I would be driving to York by myself and H would have to drive me back to get my car on Sunday.  Enter my parents.  They are dropping me off in York.  Well, at least, they were supposed to be dropping me off.  Now it's turned into an elaborate dinner plan.

Meanwhile, I'm starting to get anxious about spending the night at my ILs' house without H.  I get along with them, don't get me wrong.  But he's the glue that brings us together, you know?  I guess I'm worried that we'll be sitting there, just staring at each other over breakfast.

No, that's not true.  His dad could talk to a wall.

But I still think it will be weird.

Re: My Friday

  • Yeah, I agree with you and would probably feel weird too. I mean I like my inlaws and we do get along, but like you said...Your DH is the glue. And I'd rather spend the time with my ILs then 10 drinking guys. ;)

     

  • I don't think I'd like to be alone with the ILs. Jeff is definitely our common denominator. But it's one night... And you have your parents as a buffer for dinner. Good luck!
