best man driving me nuts

Mellypoos, 27 July, 2014 at 21:13 Posted on Planning 0 3

Excuse me, but I need a little rant about my OH's best man. He is his longest friend since they were in school and I understand why OH picked him, but he's so unorganised and its driving me mad Smiley sad OH and I went over in May and bought suits for them both from a lovely tailor in Belfast as OH is from NI and BM and family etc are all there. At the same time OH arranged to go back over mid August for his stag party and to pick up his finished suit. This seemed the easiest as the alternative was everyone travelling over to us and we didnt want everyone paying twice as they are paying to come to the wedding here. Best man rang round people at the time but it seems like he's done nothing since! Another friend of OH is now having a house party on the Sat on the weekend he is going over to NI and having phoned the best man he still hasnt arranged anything! it's really annoying me but OH is pretty laid back and doesnt seem worried, which is annoying me more Smiley sad

my night out was arranged months ago and i know who's going, where it is, what we are doing and its all paid for and i really want OH to have a good time too Smiley sad add to this the fact that he still hasnt booked his hotel and is bringing his wife and they are staying 4 days and he only booked check in luggage on the plane and i really want to go bridezilla on his ass! lol

    If it makes you feel any better I'm the same. My BMS have planned my Hen already and the best man hasn't even started to plan the stag yet.

    Men are generally more un-organised and don't notice all of the little extra touches in the same way that we don't. I'm sure that the men will pull it together at the last minute and your OH will have a good time whatever they do.

    My advice would be to stay out of it. Planning a wedding is hard enough work as it is without worry about your OHs stag.

    I know what you mean, men are hopeless at organising things, always last minute! Don't stress though as I am sure all that matters is he is with his friends xx

    I know how you feel! My h2b best man hasn't organised the stag yet either! My hens been booked for months! There's only 2 months really as we get married on 1st November and I don't want it close to the wedding. My worry is that people won't be able to go now as they need to get time off work and money (depending on where they're going)

    I've told h2b that the best man got till the end of the week to sort it otherwise I'll be contacting him! Bridezilla I know but it's bugging me, he has not done anything or even offered to help with anything. I'm really surprised by it I thought he'd be more involved!

    Like the others have said men are more laid back, damn them, lol!

    They are all the same. OH's best men had organised the stag with about 10 mins of me having the ring on my finger but trying to get them to get measured for suits is like pulling teeth. Every week I get a text asking which shop we have hired them from! ARGH!!!
