Can I get this off my chest?

Saracroft251, 21 May, 2010 at 16:45 Posted on Planning 0 24

I am a bit hurt.....annoyed and I need to vent

The groomsmen met up this week to do some suit stuff, R has 2 best men and one of Best men's wife tagged along, (WHY???) afterwards, she told OH to his face in front of everyone that our wedding was a massive inconvenience to her and she was going out of her way to attend and spend money on fuel and hotels etc........................................so we should give up OUR house the night before, for them to stay in............. as it's half way between their house and the venue???

er, how about NO love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My house is already going to be full of family from Ireland, Scotland and Spain etc (people who have travelled upwards of 10 hours to be with us, the least we can do is put them up the night before)

WTF? How dare she, they only live 2 hours away, it's not like they have to come from Scotland like most of my family, nor has she been involved in any of the wedding planning I have tried to keep out of her hair so far so as not to cause any stress etc - and more to the point, we all know how expensive being a guest at a wedding can be, but by no means do you march up to the groom and tell him that his wedding is a "massive inconvenience altogether" If it such an inconvenience why did she come to the suit fitting?

Her husband (the best man) said nothing at all, just sat there quietly while she said this.........but we have NOT inconvenienced them, not once, other than asking him to come to a suit fitting

I just don't get it?

    Nothing - he was too upset, he is now worried that his Best man hates him. He won't let me say anything to her either

    This is my point exactly - she was rude and hurtful and my lovely OH should not have to feel like this should he?

    I really want to call her up and see if there was a misunderstanding - but OH would kill me

    To be honest you're right he shouldn't be made to feel like this, has his BM even rang him to talk about it? Have they even spoken since?

    Nope and nope

    The other best man's wife ( lets call her Mrs Nice) is so angry that Mrs "not so nice" said this, she is really cross. She agrees with me that OH should call his best man and ask him.

    grrrrr weddings bring out the worst in people

    They really do bring out the worst in people unfortunately! Would Mrs Nice be prepared to step in & give her a slap down the phone at all?!

    Let's hope she was suffering from PMS!!! ?

    Joke aside, how rude! But some of my family are moaning too so I guess some people just like making a scene (my guests are travelling from France and expecting me to find them all free accommodation...)

    My Mum actually said "well if it was in France all the neighbours and friends would help out and guests could stay in spare rooms" (she obviously said that in French ?). Doesn't she realise in the UK houses are half the size of French houses for a start? And secondly we have no family nearby to help out (H2B's family are in the South East & Wales and we are in the South West). They'll have to stay in a hotel if they want to come...

    Wow. How self centred! I'd be inclined to say if it's too much effort for her not to bother but it's probably just best to leave it & let things play out. The people who I know have kicked up merry hell about things before a function are usually quite as a mouse on the day. I've started to see my wedding as a bit of a divide between those that have bothered and those that haven't and what sort of effort I don't need to bother making to those who haven't bothered in the future. If that makes sense!

    Such a shame for your OH though he must feel so let down by his BM.

    Thank is so dam rude!!! Did she forget you invited her to come, not court ordered, if they find it so difficult say you will understand if she doesnt attend or if she'd like to go home early so they dont need to pay for a hotel just fuel

    It drives me mad, how rude some people are, which is why we are only inviting a very small amount of people... although not inviting the best mans wife would have been a hard one to get out of!! xx

    Just plain rude! Its unacceptable if I was your OH i would tell best man if it's such an inconvience then not to come and he will save money on the suit hire.

    Asking someone to be your best men is supposed to be an honour for them and asking to go for one suit fitting and attend the wedding isn't much.

    How does your H feel now he knows one of his best men thinks its a hassel? If he doesn't want you to say anything can't the other best man have a word and say it was out of line or something?
