So, for a bit of back story - I wrote about a friend that was upset that her friends decided that due to so many weddings this year, they wouldn't buy each other Bridal shower gifts. Alice was upset because she felt that gifts were basically mandatory if you were in or were going to a wedding.
Well, today I woke up to yet another email, with Alice spouting her wedding woes...She is exhausted from registering(?), she is exhausted from her stag and doe prep, there was bridal shower drama that she didn't elaborate on (and im not asking...). I am flabbergasted and yet again, don't know how to reply to Alice without saying 'you're a greedy cow, bugger off!' She has such a lack of etiquette and she thinks that what she is doing is ok -
* Throwing her own bridal shower
* putting 'Monetary Gifts Only' on invite
* throwing her and FI a wedding fundraiser to pay for a wedding they obviously cannot afford
* Registering for her bridal shower and having too many big ticket items (why have a registry if you demand cash only?)
* she is making shirts for her family and friends to wear at the stag and doe (so everyone knows who the wedding slaves are) and telling me she is exhausted from doing it (then don't do it! Personalised shirts aren't mandatory...)
THEN she asked me if I find my wedding planning fun or stressful...um, my wedding planning is great...her's gives me chest pain...
RANT OVER! thanks for reading and letting me vent
