Vegas Wedding...NOT!!!

a friend girl of mine met a guy at the end of 2009- beginning of 2010.  she announced in march/ april that they were getting married in Vegas.  she asked three of us to stand up in her wedding set for 8-9-10.  we are all educators and traditionally, TEACHERS IS BROKE FO THE SUMMER...FURTHERMORE, AUGUST IS THE REALLY POOR MONTH...

we all bit the bullet purchased our flights, booked our hotel, bought our dresses and accessories...one of the bridesmaid is a great party planner and she planned all of these activities for us to do in vegas for the bachorlette party, bought party favors, gifts, etc.

two weeks before the wedding appearantly all *****ceived invites including ALL OF THE GIRLS STANDING UP IN THE WEDDING received postcards stating that the wedding was cancelled and that the wedding ceremony was changed to "CONGRADULATIONS FOR GETTING A NEW JOB" party...i was really pissed but got over it cause my options were limited...the rest of the bridal party is ULTRA PISSED and threatening to sue and needless to say, the friendship is gone.

what do you think about this?  would you still be friends with the "runaway" bride?  would you sue?

 WTF???!!!!  oh no she DID-ENT!!!!!

Chile - if that was ME - that **** would be changed on location to a 'I'm whoopin yo ass cause you made me waste my money on some BULL**** and you ain't even my friend for REAL any ******g way and who da heyl flies to fuggin VEGAS to celebrate a new job, you dumb *****!!!!'

But I don't think that would all fit on a banner or even the cover of an invite. 

dont think all that will fit either...two of the three bridesmaids went on anyway cause the $$$ was already spent...we just tried to make the best of it, as I HATE VEGAS...the bride still had food, wedding cake, wore her dress and erything...im still confused as to what the hell happened...

Did she elope; have I got it straight?  Has she at least apologize?  Had she had any good sense she'd hold a wedding reception not a job party.   If I got it wrong and they split, an expanation is due with that apology. 

She owes you each reimbursement even if it comes in installments.  Unless of course cancellation was out of her control and amends financially not possible.  I may not end a friendship over this but it would be the last time I go out of my way for this person.  Once burned... 

  

 

she only apologized after being pressured by her mom, and even still it was not heartfelt...she says they split, but i doubt it...they did not elope as far as i know and she blames the "planning of the wedding" as the reson they did not marry...all i know is that i will not ever take a trip that i dont want to go on...

I would be very upset. because this was wrong for her to do and even if it was out of her control she should have called each and everyone of you to explain the deal. I am not sure about what you should do in regards to the friendship only you know what is right for you. but I would have to let her know how I felt. sorry this happened to you.

thanks queen, and no, she did not apologize, with her heart.  i am still willing to be friends with her, but the other bridesmaids are DONE...i am for calling off the wedding while the preacher is pronouncing them man and wife, but letting us know with a postcard was sooo tacky...

I'd have to cut a *****!!! Naw, no really.

But on a serious note, how dare she? She shoulda sold that dress on Ebay and reimbursed you all.

Tacky, tacky on her part!

well, her dress could be worn a a formal dress alos...but nonetheless...

I just got back from Vegas last week. Love that place each and every time I go.

HOWEVER, like Mack indicated there would be postcards going out about how deep my leg got stuff in somebody azz. Amazing how folks THINK they can screw you with no lubricate like there is no tomorrow and think it is okay...

She would be looking for my picture in the obituaries because she would never hear from me again.
