Warning, this is not a crazy wanting to be engaged story 
Anyways, so I really needed to vent about this past weekend. This year we have been invited to a total of 8 weddings (2 of them destination weddings) and have to attend them all (my BF is dressed in 5, the other 3 are my family members). So this weekend was wedding 3 of 8, on top of one of the destination weddings.
I am going to start from the beginning so you all can get an idea of how much of a mess this has been. This is one of the wedding’s my BF was dressed in. We received all the information and found out that it is a destination wedding, so all of us from Long Island, NY had to travel up to New London, NH. A little back information about the couple. They both come from very wealthy families and sure show it. They drive ridiculous fancy cars, have a beautiful house together, etc. (no jealousy, good for them!). I have to state this information because it is important.
We receive all the information about where and what time, but no information was given for hotels to stay in, etc. No rooms were even blocked for us, so another girl and I did all the research. Finally found a place (btw, everything up there is B&B’s that cost a fortune!!!!) and booked all of our rooms because the other places in the area were already booked! So fast forward a few months and some of the guys in the bridal party found out that the bridesmaids rooms had been paid for, meanwhile they didn’t even reserve rooms for the groomsmen. That made everyone pretty angry.
Now fast forward to the wedding weekend. We all had to take off Friday to get up for rehearsal dinner. We arrive and everything is disorganized and they didn’t seem to know what is going on. Rehearsal itself started one hour late (they even had a wedding planner). After rehearsal is said and done, we all meet at a restaurant for our dinner. Well there was potato salad, macaroni and cheese, ham, and eggs being served buffet style. Whatever, it was no big deal except they did run out of food and not all of us got some (everything but the eggs were brought from the home, the restaurant served the eggs).
Now next day. The boys get ready for the wedding, etc. The church was beautiful & everything went well there. Now the reception. We were informed that the wedding was going to be a beautiful enclosed, air conditioned tented wedding on the bride’s parents “estate” property, and that even the kids have their own separate tent. We arrive and had to climb this giant hill up their dirt driveway to get to the hill (thank goodness I brought flip flops!). I found my BF and he wasn’t happy. They haven’t eaten all day since the AM and finally was served a small bag of popcorn to eat (this is at 5:30pm!). No while on their way to take pictures or anything. The cocktail hour was ok, there was a vegetable platter with dip, a few passed hors d’oevres, and drinks. We find our seat, in the tent and noticed that it is not enclosed and no ac. No big deal because it turned out to be an ok day, but we were getting annihilated by mosquitos. After everyone sits, we find out that we are surrounded by a whole bunch of kids (umm, what happened to them having their own separate tent?!?!). I read the menu card, and the food is buffet style. What will be served: Roast beef, spaghetti, chicken nuggets & french fries, and salad. They go through the dances, etc. and then mention that food is ready and that they will be calling each table one by one. After second table is called, everyone just decided to go up. There was one table for the meat, and then one table for the rest of the food. The line for the food took about 40 minutes to go through and that was after I waited about 20 minutes for it to calm down. I get up and noticed that some people wanted seconds and were being rejected because they were running out of food AGAIN!!! The food was awful, the sauce tasted like Ragu and I noticed the french fries and chicken nuggets were in large frozen bags. The DJ played from a computer, which was not a big deal, but between each song there was 20 seconds of silence that really killed the dance mood every time!!! Oh, and to bat, the bride & groom were one of the first to leave and didn’t even say goodbye to anyone. There is no excuse for this unless they had a plane to catch, but they did not because they were staying at the same hotel as us and were awake when we arrived!!! Oh, yea and they kicked one of their friends out of the room because they didn’t book one.
Sorry for the long rant, but this wedding tops the list of the most awful wedding I have ever attended by far.
