AIBU….
My brother is getting married next year. My family and I are very close to his fiance and I’m looking forward to being a part of the celebrations.
The bride’s MoH (a pretty close friend) has organised the hen.
All of the hens live in the same city…apart from the MoH…(important for later)
Last week, the MoH messaged everyone telling us all the plan that she is looking to arranging - two nights in a cottage with massage treatments & private dining experience.
This was the only option offered, with no chance of discussing other ideas.
Still, it all sounded ok until the cost came up (£2000 alone for the cottage for the 2 x nights), along with the fact it’s 20 minutes from the MoHs own home, and 150 miles away for the other 12 hens!
She’s a SAHM, and is saying the only time the cottage is free is on 2 x midweek nights, meaning all of us that work will have to take THREE DAYS annual leave?!
I said I’d have to think about it - she then told me the cottage has been booked and she’s put a deposit down, so “it’s happening anyway”. So she wasn't offering an option at all, she was telling me what was happening and how much I owe
I’m thinking she’s a major CF?!
Also…I’m thinking not many of the 12 will go for this plan, meaning the cost will be astronomical once it’s divided by like, 8 girls
My brother will be pretty upset if I don’t go. Should I just grin and bear the cost, seeing as she’s booked it already?
