Sorry this is going to be long.
Dh is going to be best-man this summer, and is now in discussion with his friend about the stag-do. His friend wants to go to Bratislava for 4 days. Aside from the fact that this now means that dh will be going to goodness knows where in Eastern Europe (anyone else seen the film Hostel? ) for 4 days ? I am really ticked off at the expense of it all. Flights and accommodation alone will be about £150, then meals, and inevitably drink, then there?s the activities (karting etc) ? so the whole thing is likely to cost about £400.
Ok? so you might be thinking, it?s not that much money. But I just don?t understand this obsession with foreign and numerous night stag/hen dos??
On top of that we will be going to the wedding, which is more expense, two nights in a hotel, gift. And now the bride is texting me to confirm if I can make her hen weekend in Italy I dislike having to explain my financial situation when I say ?I can?t really confirm dates for your hen do until I know the cost of it?
We are not on the breadline, or anything ? but I just feel really aggrieved that we are having to spend all this £ just because of other people, and it is going to affect the holiday that we have for us.
AIBU to let this irritate me? Should I just think, to hell with money, we?ll spend now and worry later? Because I don?t want people to think I am up-tight, but I think that other people?s financial situation should be considered. When did it become so fashionable to go on holiday before getting married?
AIBU?
Stag/Hen Night Annoyance... sorry, long.
