We went to this wedding last night that was supposed to have over 500 guests. There was probably 250-275. The cash bar was not that big of a deal because we both brought flasks and just got our mixers. It was actually surprisingly better then I was anticipating given everything the bride had talked about. That is not my vent though.
One of our local (lives in Phoenix) GM was at the wedding and he still has not purchased his tickets. Furthermore, his wife has been on the fence if she is going. He committed to the wedding over a year ago and at the time it was not a big deal for both of them to go. When we went to my first dress fitting in March they were both still a go and we even sat down to figure out flights since they were going to go with FI on a voucher we had, buy one and 2 fly for $99. He just had to confirm with his boss. We went back two weekends ago and the wife was not sure if she would be going and the GM no longer wanted to use the voucher because he did not want to take that much time off. Last night once the dancing started it was all made clear. They found out in April that she is pregnant. Now he is not sure if he will be making it at all and she is definitely not coming. I am happy for them and all but at the same time the wedding is right around 6 weeks away. FI says he has another guy he could ask if this GM backs out. This really concerns me though because we are running out of time and this new person would not have a lot of time to save money if necessary, get measured and make arrangements. I am so annoyed. I know I have time but still. Anyway, that is my vent, perhaps I am over thinking it and worrying to much. Hopefully we will know soon.
