Hey Ladies,
Please keep me in prayer because I'm about to back slide if these crazy people don't stop trying me and FI with the b.s.!
As I've said before, we are having a destination wedding in the DR. We picked a very nice resort that met the requirements of our wish list. It's beautiful, quiet, all-inclusive, intimate and is a 5 star property. All of our guests are so happy we picked it and we've exceeded our estimated number so that our travel agent had to request additional rooms. We negotiated a fabulous group rate. In addition to the cost of the ceremony and reception, we are also having a welcome party, catamaran charter, rehearsal dinner/party and a post wedding brunch. Even though the resort is all-inclusive, we still have to pay for each private event and it's not cheap. But we are happy to do so because we really want our guests to have a good time and to know how much we appreciate them for coming. Everyone is so excited...well almost everyone.
One of FI's guests is acting a straight donkey. She's upset that we did not choose a cheap resort and thinks we are being unreasonable by refusing to change the location. She also balked because she wanted to reserve her room, but did not want to pay a deposit. (the deposit was $60). So finally she states that she doesn't need frills and will stay off property, which is fine with us. Today she stated that we need to cover the daily entrance fees for all guests staying off property because that's proper etiquette. So I'm supposed to pay an extra $600 because she doesn't want to stay at our resort? No ma'am!
Ladies I've been trying to be a better person but that cow is trying my patience. Im really about to tell her to stay at home. I don't have time, nor the inclination to deal with her insanity.
