MegEn1 · December 2015

OP, can you just ask the bride or groom what's going on? Like if it comes up again, just say:

"What difference does it make where I stay?"

I really wanna know what's going on here.

I am in awe of the assholishness of this Groom! Also, does this groom not understand how a room block works? I have never had a room block where I couldn't call/internet the hotel up and just get the negotiated room rate. I didn't need to be on some list that "allowed" me to get a room at that hotel.
OP - If I were you, I would tell the other couples you are friendly with about this B&B. So you can all stay there.
I also cannot fathom being anywhere in PA in the summer and NOT need A/C. I also can't see any rental house needing to cost that much per couple for only 3 days. Huge and gorgeous lodges in the Poconos wouldn't cost that much per couple for 14 people and 3 nights!

I'm seriously racking my brain to figure out a place in rural PA that commands those prices for a house for 3 nights in August. I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Like you said even a winter holiday weekend the Poconos isn't that much.

Also, it's pretty rare to rent a house that has right number of rooms to sleep 2 people that equals their "sleeps" x-number. Sleeps 14 often means someone's ass is on a sofas or rooms with multiple beds and/or sets of bunk beds. Often "sleeps 14" =/= 7 rooms with a queen/king in each room.

Such a place doesn't exist. OP already said that some sort of Fuckery McShade is going on with the Realtor and these rates.

And no one in their right frigging mind stays anywhere in the summer in the middle of BFE PA without AC. Ever. Except maybe Satan as he's used to heat and humidity.

Oh, I don't know. I always figured that hell was a dry heat.

Humidity is more miserable, though, right?

Their issue is that there are not enough places for everyone to stay. So if you don't stay in your assigned quarters they will have people who are roomless. Also if we make the house more expensive for others because we do not decide to stay there the others will need hotel rooms as well, which means even less places to stay. I understand their reasoning but I cannot help that they chose such a remote place to get married.

Ohhhh I see. God, why would you take that stress on with everything else? Like you have to plan your wedding AND plan everyone's accommodations. Who wants that headache? Clearly that venue just doesn't work for you.

I knew this was going to be an issue from the start when I was told where the wedding would be held. It is a logistical nightmare.

So, maybe instead of dictating people share expensive houses with no sheets and no A/C, they should have picked a different venue or area. Or invited fewer people. Such bad planning. Lurkers be warned.

I understand the lack of rooms. I do not understand assigning people where to stay.

They have created their own nightmare by (1) picking a remote place (2) telling guests were they MUST stay and (3) making some of those places not affordable.

It's crazy. Just like all the other weddings, you send out the room block info and let the chips fall where they will. You do not tell some people they are required to stay at "x" so others can stay at "y" place. It doesn't work that way.

UNLESS they decide to pay for people's accommodation. And even then they can't force you to stay, but more than likely someone will pick the free place even if they have to share.

thisismynickname2 · December 2015

And to carry onto Lynda's point about chips falling--- if my friends booked a hotel room and I found myself with no place to stay (or no affordable place to stay), I would actually ask my friends if we could split the room. If they're really good friends and the wedding wasn't within a reasonable drive (2 hours maybe for me), I have no qualms sharing a two-queen room with another couple. A couple can't mandate this of course, but it's a solution I would personally explore. Let people Adult themselves.

Wait a tick.

So if this is the logic, then the rental is required or people will be roomless...
This indicates that couple calculated hotels + rentals = exact amount of rooms they'd need for their entire guest list.

But you found a B&B that the couple didn't know about... thereby adding to the total available rooms.

hotels + rentals + B&B = MORE than amount of rooms they'd need for their entire guest list

So this leaves us with two scenarios:
1) They can no longer use the excuse of people being roomless, as there is a surplus.
Depending on how many rooms are in the B&B, it may eliminate a rental.
If say two or three couples are still left over and the B&G tries to use the "but now the rental will cost a ton" excuse the new answer is "Since there are only a few of us, we will work on our own to find a smaller, cheaper rental. But thanks for the initial effort!"

2) They were short on rooms from the start.
This terrifies me... because if they had the nerve to demand you guys stay in an overpriced rental, did they tell other people that they aren't allowed to book any rooms / would need to commute / would not be invited unless peopled declined?

Regardless, OP... the whole "it will make the rental more expensive" issue is not your problem. If the other people in the house are your friends, tell them your concerns... that the house is too expensive for you as-is and that you propose you all look for a cheaper rental together or in smaller groups
OR
All of you in the house realize that the bride & groom have no control over your booking in a hotel and if other people end up roomless it's their fault for not booking sooner and the B&G's fault for inviting more people than a town can hold.

Surely most of your friends are thinking the same things... that this isn't fair... that it's too much money... that they rank lower on the totem pole than other guests... they have to be. Talk to them.

The B&G needs to remedy this themselves. They can pay for the rentals on their own and offer (not force) those rooms to guests (perhaps a few guests wouldn't mind staying with no AC if it were free). They or their parents could invite relatives to stay with them in their homes (again, offer, not force).
Or, as the wedding is still 9 months out, they could pick a different venue.

This couple sounds horrid.
They could have chosen a different venue to support their whole guest list, but their vision won out over their friends.
They could have trimmed their guest list, but apparently aren't willing to make hard decisions (or perhaps aren't willing to give up on the presents).
They are being beyond controlling
They are talking s*** about you to your mutual friends
They have created a caste system of guests, where some get preferential treatment
They are spending other people's money for them and laying on a guilt trip to cement it

Do not stand for this crap.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt...they may have been convinced by a realtor that there's a lot of competition for houses, pushed into a panic and therefore were ripe for price-gouging, which they then passed on to their guests. That would make them incredibly STUPID, but not as terrible as they sound here.

Still not guests' problem. If guests find different places and couple is stuck with the bill... too bad, so sad. Their fault for being stupid. Doesn't change much.

That might explain the urgency, but certainly not them deciding on who is allowed to get a hotel room and who "has" to share a house.

Did they go down the list and say "they should be able to afford the house put them on the shared rental house list?".

I could see it's having started out with their just being stupid and not horrid...
But they've taken it to new levels.
The assigning housing and demanding that people cancel their reservations? The guilt tripping those who have been honest about not being able to afford it by telling them that now that will make it more expensive for everyone else as if it's the guest's fault and not theirs?
The talking about the guests behind their backs to the other guests?
And the honeyfund.

It could have started off stupid but it's gone full blown horrid people.

We did give them the benefit of the doubt, I know and understand weddings can be stressful BUT my H did not deserve to be spoken to the way he was spoken to. Also he/we do not deserve to be bashed behind our backs for well over a month now. Each time we talk to our other friends we hear more and more stories about how horrible we are. It hurts my feelings and even more so because my H is at the center of this bashing which he doesn't deserve.

Also I see that it is making the other "house mates" nervous to say anything about their finances as well. It is an uncomfortable conversation to have with someone, and frankly it is none of their business but it is SO much worse when people go around talking about your finances to other people AND still firmly believing that we should incur debt over their wedding.

Your friends need to stop stirring the pot and relaying these stories back to you. They think they are being helpful by keeping you in the know, but they are actually doing more harm than good.

What they should be doing is telling this couple to go fuck themselves when they try to bash you in front of your mutual friends, and barring that they need to bean dip the couple or get up and leave and not be an audience for those two brats.

There is ZERO chance that I would be attending this wedding. I would however keep the B&B reservation and make arrangements for another couple who does go (and sentenced to "house arrest") to use it instead and reimburse you. You get your $ back, another couple escapes getting gouged, and bitchy bride and groom lose even more people off of Kickback Mountain.

Geez! Your "friends" are being jerks. I would decline the wedding invite and seriously consider declining this friendship.

NO ONE has the right to tell you how to spend your money. No one has the right to tell you where to stay.

I get rooms are short- but 1) the B&G should have picked another venue, clearly budget is not the issue, and 2) how did they decide who HAD to rent the cabin and who gets to stay in a hotel?!?!?

Do not get pressured into staying at this rental because you feel bad. Even though it "increases the price" for the other guests, that is on the B&G, not you, and your friends can also make their own decisions on how they spend their money.

Just not cool.

huskypuppy14 · December 2015

They might not have a room problem if this is how they are treating their guests. Maybe no one will come to their wedding and they'll have an abundance of rooms. If the couple is talking shit about you and your husband, do not go to their wedding. Why would you subject yourself to that?

This. What could they possibly be saying about you that makes you out to be horrible people?!? "Can you BELIEVE they can't afford the $600 shared accommodations we told them they had to stay in? And that they are MAKING THEIR OWN ARRANGEMENTS even though we explicitly told them they aren't allowed to!?! What kind of assholes do something like that? Some friends they are!"

They fucking suck. I selfishly want you to go so you can report back all of the juicy dramatic details, but you probably (definitely) shouldn't.

I know they are to blame 100% but to expect that you are going to be treated with anything short of contempt and crazy bossiness is not just naive but baffling. Even if you continue to have a friendship with them (your call), this wedding will not be fun and you will end up spending a ridiculous amount of money. Send your regrets and move on.

I'm glad- just to be clear that post wasn't directed as an attack on you ( I recognise tone is hard to read).

I am always surprised at how many people (not you) will just be people-pleasers and allow themselves to be guilted into being treated like rubbish.

Frankly, these people deserve to have a low attendance/ accommodation nightmare. I genuinely cannot believe they are trying to force people into this. (and those hotel owners really need a lesson in management).

This makes me think the b&g are actually paying the inn to hold a list of people who are allowed to reserve rooms. Usually room blocks don't work that way.

At the very least, they must now be beholden to that inn to pay for any unused rooms, if they're now turning away wedding guests for those rooms.

What are they going to do when their sick aunt or OOT cousin who doesn't want to take off work RSVPs no in July? Shuffle people back into the inn, making others pay even MORE for the houses? I'm sure they won't pay for it themselves....

thisismynickname2 · December 2015

Out of curiosity, are any of the area hotels/B&Bs on sites like Expedia? Everyone should just book through Expedia or similar rather than any "block" and avoid the whole hassle (if they're still going to this rude shitshow).
