I need to whine... hate me if you want. :-)

DH and I like to travel - a lot. When we know a 3 or 4 day weekend is coming, we are planning trips.

A couple of months ago a friend of mine announced her engagement and then the STD told us that her wedding was this weekend-- Memorial Day weekend. Since the wedding is Saturday night, it meant we couldn't go anywhere for the weekend and I was bummed.

NOW another friend announced her engagement a couple of weeks ago. We got their STD and it is the Saturday of Labor Day weekend!! ARGH!!!! I know it may be more convenient for the bridal families to have extra time but almost all of the guests for both of the weddings are local so we don't need extra time to travel to the wedding. Now, 2 holiday weekends are shot. 

I know I am a horrible friend...

  • I am right there with you!!! :) DH normally refuses to attend if it is a holiday weekend......so I end up going alone. Ugh!

     

  • I know the feeling!

    My SIL re-scheduled my nephew's birthday dinner (family only, which includes her many extended family relatives) to Sunday night.  Right, the only night of this weekend when I'd already made plans I can't change!   I'm hoping he'll at least be excited to get a gift from me early (pre-dinner).

  • Boo, I would be annoyed as well!

  • Oh, I know the feeling. The thing I hate is that I normally have had to travel to weddings on those weekends and it is busy and expensive. :(

  • sometimes the strategy for having a wedding on a holiday weekend is to reduce the attendance, knowing that some people already have plans. i have a friend having a wedding on a friday, knowing that even though she has lots of family in texas, they can't all take their kids out of school or take a day off.
  • They probably care more about their OOT family being there than their in-town friends, as well.
