Re DH's friends wedding

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

Dammit! I may have to purchase brownies on my way back from Brownies pick-up....

Really bumbly? Have you seen the creme egg biscuits. They are lovely, but a bit wrong.

pictish · 29/01/2014 19:15

You're still avoiding answering Bumbley. You cannot admit that you meddled dreadfully and totally overstepped the mark can you?

Unless of course, you still feel that you were entitled to conduct yourself as you did on this thread...in which case, you have a real problem recognising and respecting social boundaries. Not good.

Oh - I see you mentioned bedtime - kapok cuddly it is. I have a strange mind.

Lj8893 · 29/01/2014 19:15

Ohhhhhhhh damn this diet!!!!

ravenAK · 29/01/2014 19:16

But you'll be able to have lots of lovely wine at the wedding, Juno! Grin

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 29/01/2014 19:16

Do you put in a whole, full size creme egg or the mini ones?

AvonCallingBarksdale · 29/01/2014 19:16

You sound like you don't like your children very much.

Your husband sounds like he doesn't like you very much.

You don't sound like much of a family.

More a group of people who all see each other's needs are being met.

Lj8893 · 29/01/2014 19:17
