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

pictish - why is ANY of it any of our concern? Why would anyone here really care about whether or not Juno's DH stayed in the hotel for an extra night without her?

I want steak now stamps feet and pouts

JupiterGentlefly · 29/01/2014 19:07

I still need to do my ironing.. I don't understand the need for two thirds of this thread.. (including my tow about ironing)
So glad you got your arrangements sorted Juno. Have a great time x

I cared, deeply Sad

justtoomessy · 29/01/2014 19:08

Gosh I left my DS overnight at 4 weeks and he's still alive and I also left him for 2 weeks and when he was about 8 months when I went to China and guess what he's fine!

Blimey I am going to burn in hell!

Go OP and have fun.

AvonCallingBarksdale · 29/01/2014 19:08

I'm having lasagna and a well-earned glass of wine.

AvonCallingBarksdale · 29/01/2014 19:08

I may bathe, too

Lj8893 · 29/01/2014 19:08

bumbley and pictish when I said join me on my mission to fill the thread up, this was not what I had in mind!!

bumbleymummy · 29/01/2014 19:09

I'm not sure yet Harold. I actually had a 'dinner' at lunch time so I've made the boy's theirs but I don't feel hungry yet!

HaroldLloyd · 29/01/2014 19:09

Everyone's dinner is better than mine and that makes me rather sad Sad

LittleBearPad · 29/01/2014 19:09

Only 40 odd posts to go. It may be the only way to kill the thread.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 29/01/2014 19:09

Hang on - blow drying a small stuffed cat - am I the only person who read that?? Confused

AvonCallingBarksdale · 29/01/2014 19:09

A nice G&T, too, when I've picked DD up from Brownies.

HaroldLloyd · 29/01/2014 19:09

We have salmon but I'm not in the mood for it.

jacks365 · 29/01/2014 19:10

Bottle of wine sounds good too

HaroldLloyd · 29/01/2014 19:10

Rewinds! Tell us about that?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 29/01/2014 19:11

Steam the salmon en papillote, with lemon juice, butter and soy sauce, Harold?

Lj8893 · 29/01/2014 19:11

I just read brownies and now I want chocolate brownies (as in the baked goods, not chocolate covered avons dd and co)

bumbleymummy · 29/01/2014 19:11

I have salmon there too - maybe salmon with salad later....or I could just have a baked potato with beans and cheese and watch trashy TV. :) comfort food!

LittleBearPad · 29/01/2014 19:11

Yep. Did wonder what Pictish meant when she said me too.

jacks365 · 29/01/2014 19:11

My dd decided her stuffed rabbit needed a bath, rabbit got the hair dryer treatment.

LittleBearPad · 29/01/2014 19:12

Cat had to be cleaned due to vomiting incident. It must be dry for bed time.

bumbleymummy · 29/01/2014 19:13

mmmmm brownies. I saw a recipe for cream egg brownies the other day. They looked deliciously evil.

HaroldLloyd · 29/01/2014 19:14

SDTG that sounds really nice.

It's one of these prepared jobs I got for three for a tenner in waitrose with a big slop of pesto-y stuff on top and it's that putting me off.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 29/01/2014 19:14

Taxidermy-style stuffed or kapok cuddly, LittleBear?
