I want to apologise is advance for this it's more of a vent and I definatly know iabu as it is just a hen do and it happened last weekend so just need to get it off my chest and forget it but my hen do has caused me to come out in hives I have always reached very physically to stress and my hen do alone was more stressful then planning my entire wedding.
We has people dropping out left right and centre after deposits had been paid, hotels had been booked and tacky t-shirts bad been ordered. We went to a town about a 2 hour drive away... bridesmaid decided she didn't want to drive or pay for a train not many others could drove so I ended up driving myself and 6 others whilst everyone else had a drink and a good laugh I spend 2 and a half hours battling with the sat nav. Hotel was a total dive was over 100 a night and you had to wipe your feed on the way out and when i say disgusting I mean disgusting! We arrived pretty late in the day and was booked to see a show at 7 having had nothing to eat we didn't have time to switch hotels so we made do.
Okay so we all get ready to head off to our show then into town show was amazing! I couldn't fault it! It was a scream a minute it finished around 10 and one of my bridesmaids and her friend who she brought a long were off in the corner whispering about every one on the hen party then making excuses to go back to the hotel. They were also all over each other well her friend was being all over her it was awful to watch and I'm not homophobic at all but they are both very newly married to men. One of their husbands is actually a relative of mine so they buggered off and went back to the hotel this set the tone for a few others in the group who then decided they were going to try and score drugs!! I mean these are women with children and partners at home they were in a town they don't know and talking to complete strangers asking for drugs! In the end me, my mil, my other bridesmaid and a old work friend of mine went and had a couple drinks then headed back to the hotel and sat in my room for a while chatting this was around 12ish. I woke up the next day no hangover of course and drove every One home some of the group didn't even wait for others to wake up they just left and carried on back.
I know it's just a hen do and to be fair I'm just looking forward to marrying my partner and sharing our life but at the same time me and my other bridesmaid spent months planning and organsing the hen and it was a huge anti climax I feel so dissspointed. I've been on some brilliant hen dos and had such fun I didn't leave the bride to be on any of them either what's worse is that then bridesmaid who let me down so badly on my hen do has an amazing hen herself we made sure of it but didn't even get to dance on mine.
Apologies if this is really rambling as I say i really just wanted to get it off my chest my skin is so irritated as well please don't don't flame me too much I am really grateful to the people that did stick with me we had some lovely conversations esp me and my mil we bonded so much and we were already very close so I guess that can only be a good thing. I think I am most shocked about the drug thing I wasn't expecting any of these women to do that and I know some of these ladies very well.
