Next week our best friends are getting married. It's also the last weekend we will all be together down here because DH moves only a day or 2 after they return from their honeymoon.
The boys are planning on a boat trip the day before the wedding. Which is also the day of the rehearsal. Boating = lot of drinking (us girls were smarter and picked Wednesday for our boat trip)
The rehearsal dinner is actually a big open house at our favorite bar. We all get wrist bands for free drinks and food. The bar will still be open to the general public. Open bar at our favorite hang out = lots of drinking.
The boys also plan on going golfing the day of the wedding. Golfing = drinking. They have a special club that actually is a tap. The bartenders get excited when they see their names on tee off list.
I'm trying to figure out how to express to DH that it's not appropriate to get liquored up at all these events with the groom (they feed off of each other) without sounding like a nagging wife.
It's his BFF's wedding and his last weekend with each other in STT. These 2 are like brothers. They talk to each other more than they talk to us wives. It's like are recipe for disaster not being about to do anything about it.
What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests. Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.
