Re DH's friends wedding

999 replies

DH friend is getting married later in the year. DH is the best man. I am due to give birth 6 weeks prior to the wedding.

DH is going away on stag weekend (abroad) when child is 3 weeks old. I don't mind this, but it is a factor in my current annoyance.

Wedding is in a really fancy hotel, about 50 miles from where we live. We aren't planning to bring the children anyway.

We were planning to stay 2 nights in fancy hotel, as DH has plans with the groom and other friends the day/evening before. I was happily going to relax in the hotel, maybe go to the spa, go for a nice walk, just relax child free. Spend the night together, and wake up on the morning of the wedding and take my time getting ready, relaxing breakfast by myself etc.

DH friend has now told him he's booked them a room for the night before (along with a third friend). So, DH is staying the night before, and I will just have to sort myself out in the morning and make my own way to the hotel, already dressed for the wedding (as check in is too late to get ready there).

I'm pissed off. AIBU? And if so, should I be pissed with DH? Is it really his fault? Should he say no, or should we be more accommodating to the plans of the groom?

For the purposes of not drip feeding;

  1. It's over £200 a night so I don't want to spend that on a room for the night before, by myself.
  2. I'm not friendly with the bride at all

Yes except me. But not surprised you made assumptions and judged me really Janine - it speaks volumes about you

JapaneseMargaret · 28/01/2014 18:46

Jimmy - in fairness, your opinions on the OP are on here, plain to see.

If Janine did make assumptions about you, then it's nothing but your posts on this thread which caused that.

JimmyChooChoo · 28/01/2014 18:48

Thanks for your input JapaneseMargaret Grin what would we do without you

JapaneseMargaret · 28/01/2014 18:51

You're welcome!

And I must say, slightly ironic that when you're on the end of the judging, you don't like it one little bit. Wink

Lj8893 · 28/01/2014 18:52

Well said japanesemargaret

JimmyChooChoo · 28/01/2014 18:55

Oh the irony JapaneseMargaret Grin Grin
Some people don't realise how funny they truly are

JimmyChooChoo · 28/01/2014 18:56

And now the 'lady' who likes to regularly say f**k off chimes in Grin

perfectstorm · 28/01/2014 18:56

Funny, Jimmy - having glanced through I see the post you approved of most vocally was deleted for malice, and the poster you've supported most vocally has been deleted for same, multiple times. I suppose it depends on what you value most in other posts and posters, doesn't it.

Malice doesn't float my personal boat.

JimmyChooChoo · 28/01/2014 18:59

You have the time to 'glance' through 33 pages?! Bless you

perfectstorm · 28/01/2014 19:03

I know how to do this thing called "cut and paste" and "find". But do keep going, by all means. You're illustrating my point for me with such thoroughness.

justmyview · 28/01/2014 19:08

OP is being very gracious and respectful of other people's attitudes to parenting ............. unlike some others on this thread

JimmyChooChoo · 28/01/2014 19:08

You actually 'copy and paste' and 'find' things on Aibu ?!Shock

Lj8893 · 28/01/2014 19:08

i only said it once, not "regularly". Please stop exaggerating!

JapaneseMargaret · 28/01/2014 19:09

Keep going, Jimmy, keep going...

Lj8893 · 28/01/2014 19:09

If you are so anti swearing I suggest you leave mumsnet.

HaroldLloyd · 28/01/2014 19:11

Keep them a coming jimmy, it's actually getting pretty amusing now.

JimmyChooChoo · 28/01/2014 19:11

No I don't think I can its just so 'car crash' and I'm so not 'anti swearing' lol only I swear just not directly to others

HaroldLloyd · 28/01/2014 19:12

Swear but not directly to others! LOL.

Have you got a swear cave?

JanineStHubbins · 28/01/2014 19:13
JimmyChooChoo · 28/01/2014 19:14

There's a difference between swearing and searing AT others

Lj8893 · 28/01/2014 19:15

I was swearing at the ridiculous statement rather than directly at the poster.

JimmyChooChoo · 28/01/2014 19:15

Janine go ahead. I think you and the F word go quite beautifully together almost like Thanks

HaroldLloyd · 28/01/2014 19:16

I'm willing to bet a million billion pounds that you swear at people or about people on occasion.

And you don't get the high moral ground because some some swore and you asterisked the f word, you've still been a bit of an arse on this thread.

mistermakersgloopyglue · 28/01/2014 19:16

Christ Hmm

HaroldLloyd · 28/01/2014 19:17

Sorry, meant a MASSIVE arse.
