I have felt cross about this for a few hours, so partly want to vent but also to know whether I am being unreasonable, because at the moment, I feel like a bit of a cow.
So- Friend A is getting married. The venue is minimum 5 hour drive from any of her family, friends, including me. I am a bridesmaid along with Friend B (and two others).
To give background, because the wedding is so far away, people will need to spend the night before the wedding and the wedding night in hotels, bride has expressed desire that hen do does not cost a fortune. However, this week, Friend B has posted thread on Facebook (which I don't really read religiously) including ALL hen do goers, with a plan for hen do in a town in the north. Near to where she lives. I, bride, and another BM live in south, and asking everyone to transfer her money to pay for booking spa, hotel and other activities over the weekend. We are talking probably..two hundred and fifty plus for the weekend.
Now I am not one to be stingy, and I like both Friend A and Friend B v much. But I feel upset and narked not to have my opinion asked, added to the weekend being...well- really awkward, and expensive for those that are coming from so far, soon before the wedding when we'll all be going in the other direction.
Have voiced these concerns and Friend B has basically said she's looked into it, is the best there is, everyone else has agreed - and that's that.
AIBU to consider not going?
