I've Got To Ask...

I work nights at a hotel, I'm currently at work and there's a wedding party here. The groom and his buddies are playing beer pong while the bride and her bridesmaids and trying to figure out how to change her last name and relationship status on facebook.

Bride suddenly just yelled "Yay! I'm Mrs. ____" cuz she just figured out how to do it. I thought you became Mrs. ____ when you signed the marriage license? I just find it weird you're more worried about changing your facebook then hanging out with your friends/groom.

Re: I've Got To Ask...

  • Your name isn't changed until you get it changed through social security and your drivers license...

  • Sounds like a fun reception! pffft

    I do love beer pong though! Tongue out
  • Eh... After parties are pretty common.  And nothing is official until it's facebook official.

  • I would honestly be pretty upset if my husband of only a couple hours decided to play BEER PONG instead of spending the reception with me and our friends and family! If I really wanted to change my FB name, I would do it earlier in the day or the day after. But I don't care enough to worry about it. Sounds like an immature couple to me.

  • I see these after parties all the time and always wonder why you wouldn't want to spend time together alone, but it doesn't seem to be the norm around here. But this facebook updating thing is a first.

  • Are they young? They sound young

    I'd be down with an after party after my wedding (I think).
  • They seem pretty young. Also seems like this is one of many weddings going on their group of friends, cuz I've heard mention of things that happened and others and going to others next month.
  • I just noticed this, the bridesmaids are wearing shirts that say "(Bride's name)'s b*tches"
  • I would be pissed at my husband if he chose to do that after the wedding as well. I don't think its official until the legal documents are changed either.
  • Oops I thought it was the reception.
  • After parties are super common here too, but it's really rare that the bride and groom go to them.

    And I vote that an "after party at it's finest" would be getting in the hotel hottub naked with your youngest brother.
    Yeah... my dad got pretty drunk at that wedding.  It was a blast though.
  • I'm interested to know how you can see them playing beer pong and the bride is with the girls changing her name. Because in our hotel, the beer pong wouldn't be allowed (at least not in plain site of my front desk and other guests) and the computers are in a more private area.

  • Comptuer is right where I can see and in order to keep things under control I had to move them out here. Anywhere else in the hotel they would be surronded by guest and making too much noise.
  • and as long as the drinks are in a cup, it's allowed outside of the room
  • Weird.  It sounds like you're in a pretty lenient space.
  • This is the only part of the hotel that isn't surronded by rooms. The second and third floor lobbies have doors to rooms right by them, so the guest would hear everything. I can't even let them hang out outside in case someone's windows are open.
  • Like cuki said, you must have a pretty lenient space. My GM would flip her lid if I allowed such blatant drinking to go on in a public space in the hotel. But we're pretty strict on alcohol, since there are a lot of families here on the weekends.

  • We had a group of kids here last weekend for baseball...and the parents were down here drinking till 4 am. Like I said, as long as it's in a cup (so it could be anything) then they can drink down here.
  • Whit...can your boss be my boss? I wish we would put more rules on drinking here.

  • i just finished my shift at the bar...and i got to say i ended up loosing my temper and yelling at several people but they deserved it...
  • Wow...beer pong and the bride's b*tches.....sounds....fun. 

    We're going to do an after-party but a little more tasteful, I think.  Or I hope, whichever.  We're doing it though because we want to go to the bar we had our first date at and we always go there, it'll be more laid back than our reception but mostly to enjoy the night longer (our reception place kicks us out at straight-up midnight.)  But after that, my b*tches better be gone cuz I want to enjoy my new hubby! :p
