Have you ever heard of this??
I am in a wedding in August. The bride and groom drink. The bride's dad is a southern baptist preacher so they do no condone or want to be around drinking. The grooms mom and dad are divorced and remarried and they do not get along. The couple are having a "pre wedding celebration" at the dad and step moms house. the brides parents were not invited. and the grooms mom and step dad said they were not going bc they do not feel welcome there. But from what the bride has told me all this party is going to be is a big drinking fest. I honestly do not want to go! I feel bad saying that but it is not mine and T "scene". And I know the bride is going to get so drunk. I just honestly do not understand.
Who let the dawgs out?

Re: Have you ever heard of this??
So, bacisally it's a private celebration of a marriage from a father for his son and soon to be DIL before the wedding. I don't see that as being very weird.
They drink more or party a little more than the rest of the family and want to have a gathering where they will feel more comfortable b/c it sounds like they are different than the other family members who are throwing the wedding.
As a DIL of people who are nothihng like my own family I can understand seperate events. It's NO fun when everyone is together and everyone is pissy and feels left out not matter what you do.
If it's not something that you are interested in taking part in then don't go. Simple!
kellie i called t and told him i thought i was getting sick...haha...i talked to my friend and she thought the same thing i did trying to find a excuse to not go.
oh yeah i think i know what i am going to say about the shower (remember about that) i think i am going to say something along the lines of well i had plans but i changed them around to accomdate this. i wish you would have asked us in advance before booking and planning everything.
LOL, at least you arent alone!
That sounds like a good response to her demands! She sounds like a piece of work, seriously what host puts the expenses on the others?! Rude.
I hope it all works out, let me know!
