Yes it was an epic fail. I'm finally outta of my funk about it and ready to tell ya how it all went down.. (sigh)

Saturday
I wake up to a ton of txt msgs telling me nobody got all the food, they still need table covers and the aprons (the theme was 1950s housewife). So BM1 says im supposed to be meeting your sis over your aunts house @1230 but i cant go over there cause I dont have the address and 2 i gotta go drop my kids off. And btw you need to come get this money to go get the rest of the food. Huh..what ?! I shouldn't have to do anything today. I called my lil sis/MOH and ask her whats going. She over my oldest sis house doing her lashes and its 1235. So what do I do...go over to her house and run to the store to get the rest of the food. At Krogers..get the chicken wings, veggie tray and other little things. Ran into to my uncle and he pays for the food. Ok cool. So then I ran ton dollar tree to get table covers, some bowls, other misc. Items. I still was supposed to get my hair and MU done. (These things did not happen) ? So by this time its 1:30. The shower is to start at the 3. So now I'm rushing home to get home and in the shower and get dress. I started txting people telling them shower time has been moved to 4 seeing the food was not going to be ready nor was anything else going to be ready. I did not have time to do my hair because my oldest sis kept blowing my phone up because she can't find my aunts house where the shower was being held at. (I did my hair at her house) I get the car loaded and ready to go its now 245, my aunt called saying 2 people showed up but left the gifts because they couldn't stay. Then my MOH calls and says "I'm at mamas house, its a fire going on out hehere in her complex and they not letting people leave. They have the streets blocked off". Like seriously ?! I arrive at my aunts house 20 bags in tow. My oldest sis wants to start an argument with me . I go in brush my hair up into a ponytail and helped get the food ready. Then me and the BM gets into it because she say she wasn't aware that we were going to Detroit for my bacehlorette party. She had major attitude about this. (I'm thinking isn't this day supposed to be about me ?!) I'm why not..wasn't thos something you and MOH was supposed to ne planning ? So finally 2 guest showed up. That was it yall..besides my mom, aunt, wedding planner, MOH, BM, oldest sis...only 2 people showed up. My no of my inlaws came. No MIL..no SIL..none of them came. Then on top of that..my cake was order thrw walmart. They jacked up that cake. It was messy and just looked like something was thrown on there. The date on it was wrong. I had to be the one to go up there and clown. And I got half the money back and the BM said just keep it. So in the end. I was very irritated and disappointed. I did not have a bachelorette party of any sort. My friends had others plans and I ended up at home and in bed by 930 with a glass of wine and a piece of my jacked up cake

    (hugs) Sorry you had to go through all that. This is why I tend to be a control freak when it comes to events but this is certainly one of those times when you expect people to step up to the plate if they say that's what they will do. Reading this made me want to throw you a girls night out! But on the very bright side, you are getting married in less than TWO WEEKS! Now that celebration, you do have total control of (well mostly:-)) and it's the one that really matters. You will be a MRS soon!

    Thank you ladies. I am really praying my wedding day goes a lot smoother and not so chaotic and about everyone else. I was feeling like I would have rather not had a shower. Then to have what I had. Then nobody showed up out of 40 women..no one showed up..not even my inlaws. I'm just glad its over and I'm over it.
