I need a *small* flask
Cheap. Today. Any suggestions?
Re: I need a *small* flask
LOL, Yeah, Pam, I think that's just because it's Vegas! I never got over how EVERYWHERE out there sold booze.
I'll try Walmart and/or liquor store on my way home. I need the flask to take to the rehearsal and wedding tomorrow night and Saturday. This is my small act of rebellion. It makes me feel better about gritting my teeth and going when I just want to stay home in protest of the whole overblown affair.
No. We "received permission" from the groom to get our own hotel room and for Matt to stay with me, since we are married. Apparently the bride and groom decided to split everyone up like that in order to prevent two unmarried couples from staying together. So I guess I sort of win, but I'm still mad that they would try to do that in the first place.
They're insisting that Matt drive an hour and a half tonight for a "guys' dinner," even though he has to drive back home again so he can be at work for a meeting in the morning. We found out about that two days ago. And then we have to drive two hours down for the rehearsal tomorrow evening. Apparently there will be still more "guys' events" after the RD (they just sprung that on us, too), so I'm wondering what I'm supposed to do during that. Go check into the hotel by myself and wait for Matt to be ready to get picked up, I guess.
I am ready to not receive any more email reminders about weather, location, attire, mandatory WP events, or the hotline with the recorded message that we are to call in case the ceremony location has to be changed. I don't want any more mass emails about how many days are left, or how excited they are, or how important music has been in their lives. I don't care where all of the bridesmaids went to college. I just want to be left in peace.Thanks for letting me get that out.
While Matt's doing the guy stuff tomorrow night, I would probably just go ahead and check in to the hotel. Get you a bottle of wine and bring a good book. I LOVE LOVE LOVE hotel rooms so I would totally have a blast by myself if Adam was off doing guy stuff. Either that or maybe there's some good shopping nearby?
Look on the bright side... once this wedding is over, you probably won't have to deal with them very often. Didn't you say that Matt doesn't hang out with this guy very much??
Yes. They do. I'm still wrapping my head around that, myself.
The guys haven't hung out that much, but that's mostly because the groom used to live about 3 1/2 hours away. The couple are now going to be living about ONE hour away. I think that they expected me to be insta-besties with the bride, and they have hinted that they would like to do lots of couples things with us in the future. Maybe they are sane, lovely people when they are not possessed by wedding-brain?
I plan to take a good book, but, sadly, cannot do the wine or a bath because I'll probably need to go pick Matt up from wherever they are doing their super-secret man stuff. Unless we can get somebody else to run him out to our hotel. I'll hope for that.
If not, there's always comfy sweats and a book or cable TV.
OMG, Kelly. These people are insane.
And I'm sorry but I wouldn't be waiting for "permission" from the bride or groom to get my own hotel room. Then again, that's me and DH. lol. And who the hell do they think they are to try and force a setup to try and prevent 2 unmarried couples from staying together? Are they super religious and trying to be the Moral Police? UGGGGGHHHHHH.
Anyway, I feel for you. Just get through this wknd as best you can and then the wedding will be over and no more irritating mass emails.
