In the first episode, Alice didn't like that her BMs decided not to give gifts to offset the cost of being in the WP (and paying for everything from their dresses and shoes, Hair and Make up and all the other crap Alice is making them feel they need to have).

In the second episode, Alice was exhausted from planning her Registery, her own Stag and Doe and her own Bridal Shower

In this weeks episode, Alice is upset that her MOH has received a wedding invitation the same day as Alices Stag and Doe. She emailed her saying she was hurt her MOH didn't want to attend. MOH replied that its against her religion to drink or make profit from it (Stag and Doe will be cash bar with a huge mark up). Alice informed ME that MOH had been to a Stag and Doe a few weeks before and MOH should be at hers...Then Alice proceeds to tell me that she wants to kick her MOH out of her wedding! Alice says she is tired of MOH drama and is thinking of what she should do...

I told Alice she cant kick her out and just let her MOH do as she pleases. I informed Alice the only thing her MOH is obliged to do is show up on time, in the chosen attire and sober...

What I really wanted to do is tell Alice I support her MOH in not going because a) she should have a wedding she can afford and b) she asked her girls to be in her WP March 2013! and her wedding is Sept 2014...Im sure her MOH and BMs are sick to the back teeth of hearing about Alices wedding...

Alice gets upset that the other girls aren't as interested in her wedding...I told her no one would be, especially since 2 girls in her WP are getting married in June and July. Let them enjoy or freak out about their weddings before they need to get sucked back into feigning interest in yours...

The End...

  • What is a stag and doe anyway?
    It is a fundraiser party for a wedding with cash bar, entrance cost, and cash raffle games (from what I gather, never been to one). Very frowned upon here, but people who throw them say it is "regional" or "cultural". Generally knotties then roll their eyes and say culture/region isn't an excuse to hit up family, friends, or complete strangers for money.
