Will you throw me a party?

I love sharing with you guys so here's another lovely etiquette story. 

I'm a pure romance consultant, and I did a party last night. It was a bachelorette party, and the hostess asked that I get there early to be set up before the bride arrived because the pure romance part was going to be a surprise for the bride. Sure, no prob. I get there early and I'm chatting with the hostess and another girl there, asking questions about the wedding, and I learn that these two girls were asked by the bride to give her a bachelorette party. For some crazy reason they agreed, AND they aren't even in the wedding party. They were special enough to be asked to give her a party, but not special enough to be in the wedding party. But wait, there's more. 

The party is supposed to start at 8. The bride calls at 7:50 and says they haven't gotten their dinner yet so it's gonna be a while. This bitch actually went out to dinner with her wedding party while these other 2 girls are sitting at their apartment decorating for her bachelorette party. And I know they spent a ton of money because they bought alcohol, snacks, decorations, the whole deal.

The phone rings at 8:20, the bride is calling to say they just got their food. When the hostess asks how much longer she thinks they will be, the bride gets an attitude and says "Is it gonna be a problem??"

I would have been like uh yeah bitch, your manners are the problem. And uninvited her to my house. I can't even.

Yeah, I think I would have told her to take her time b/c the party was now cancelled.

I feel bad for those girls. I think we do a lot for people because we feel obligated and that sucks.

Those poor girls!  I wonder why on earth they agreed to do this when she quite obviously has a posse who should have done it for her.

slothiegal

Wow.  Those poor girls.  How do people like this even make friends in the first place?

That bride sounds like a manipulative bitch. Run ladies, and don't look back.

I wonder, if she made these 2 girls throw this party, what she is getting her BM's to do for her.  Such a sociopath.

So what happened? Did they ever show up?

theycallmelinz

They showed up around 9pm, when the party originally was supposed to start at 8. Not a huge deal to me, but I felt sorry for the girls who gave her the party. I don't think I ever heard one "Thank you" from the bride either. I did however see one of the hostesses running around fixing her drinks and all whenever she needed something. Absolutely crazy.

That's messed up! I would have canceled the party right there. What a bitch.

That's horrible, and I don't understand how people like this have friends.

The party would be canceled and the friendship officially ended if I was one of the hosts.

No one has the right to treat anyone that rudely.

I imagine this bride with a whip in her hand, being fanned with giant palm leaves by some brideslaves.  
Shit's not acceptable under any circumstances.

You gotta wonder with stories like this, was the bride always a B and her friends should've known this and not thrown her a party like this?  OR do weddings really just turn some normal women into insane jerks?

I just don't get it.

Stupid question.... what is a pure romance consultant? I am at work and scared to google it.

monkeysip

Pure romance is a company, kind of the same structure as avon/mary kay, where you can buy "romantic gifts" like oils, lotions, toys (I think?), etc.

@KatWAG‌ haha exactly. Think "sexy Tupperware party". I sell oils, lotions, and toys/'relationship enhancers'

KatWAG

@lynze425 ok that is what i thought. But I didnt want to google it and have a giant dildo pop up on my screen, right as my boss walks by!

unrelated but I once accidentally clicked on a hooker on CL while at work looking at "event services" for my wedding.

Yeah the bride is a bitch, but where are those girl's spines? Tell her no. The fuck.

I once looked up the website honey pot instead of honeyfund (before I knew what either were). That was fun!
