Evidently my FI made plans months ago with one of his groomsmen to have dinner the friday before our Sunday wedding. The gm was then going to stay the night at a local hotel that comped him a night from a previous bad stay and follow FI to the wedding location. FI never mentioned this to me.
Fast forward a couple months and FI tells me we both need to take friday off and head down to the wedding site to start getting things ready. FI is prepping all the food and we need to go grocery shopping and do tons of other things... deliver our oot welcome bags and such...
I agree and then find out my dad and stepmom who I have seen ONCE in the last 37 years are coming to the wedding (from Nebraska!). I talk to FI about it and after him agreeing we ask them to go out to dinner with us. (My dad and stepmom.) My half-sister who I have NEVER met decides to come too and now I am even more excited for this.
Fast forward to today and FI tells me gm's is pissed because FI told him we were not going to be around on the Friday. (FI's house is 2ish hours from wedding location and we will be staying there. GM swears he can't rebook the comped room. He is upset that FI won't be able to provide dinner for him and his family (he is a bit of a mooch). GM tells FI the only way for him to fix this is to foot the bill for his family at a new hotel near our venue and dinner for him, his wife and 2 kids (7 and 15).
I am not a huge fan of this particular friend of the FI's. I have truly only met him once and it was a nightmare. He made a lot of racist and other insensitive remarks and I do not want to include him and his family when I meet my sister for the first time.
I'm not really asking any questions, or looking for advice, but if you have any brillaint ideas or insight I would love to hear it!
I think FI is gonna have to suck it up and talk to GM. I have tried to figure out a way to fit it all in but we are too spread out! And there is no way we are missing the once chance to spend some time with my sister and parents!
