Its literally SEVEN days before my wedding and my fiance's cousin e-mails me telling me that she doesn't have transportation for her mom, herself and her daughter (who is the flower girl) from their hotel to the Air Force Base my fiance and I are being married on. I gave her the name of two car services in the area that service the base and left it at that. I was blunt in how my fiance puts "a military way" but I wasn't rude. Apparently she's expecting me to make the arrangements for her! This is a woman who has a bachelor's degree in hotel/restaurant management and has actually worked as a wedding planner for a MAJOR hotel! She got nasty with me when I told her that she was on her own when it came to finding transportation.
As the bride, I don't think its my job to make arrangements for people this late in the game. My fiance is from rural Kentucky and all of his redneck friends have had no issue with travel arrangements. My fiance's cousin on the other hand had to have ME find her a hotel! She's given me this belly ache story about how she was "just diagnosed with MS" and that things are really hard for her. According to my fiance's mom, she's FAR from a severe case. She stays home and makes babies while her husband makes 6 figures. I have Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, PTSD, OCD, Asperger's Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and Endometriosis (which is causing me severe pain right now); I work as a school bus driver, am a volunteer firefighter, volunteer on base QUITE a bit, am preparing to get my EMT certification and studying for my nursing school entrance exam. Work has also been a MAJOR zoo for me lately. So, therefore I don't understand how hard it is to pick up a phone and call a car service.
My mom thought that it was really rude that she felt that it was my job to make her arrangements. My mom flat out said that if she can't make local travel arrangements then she can't come because its not my problem.
