my friend is getting married in exactly 1 year, she is hell bent on a st. lucian resort; it started out with a reasonable price but she bumped up to a resort that is on the expensive side.

I am a groomsman, so i pretty much have to go.

now my delimma is three fold...

1. how do i tell her that her asking us (my gf is a bridesmaid) to pay for an even more expensive place is gonna hurt our wallets?

2. People are telling me that some brides go for a more expensive resort because the travel agent will get them their expenses free if they can get a group of people to go.. which seems underhanded but understandable...

3. do i have to buy them gifts? i mean isn't shelling out 2000+ (EACH ) for the trip enough?


thanks....


oh another thing.. how do i bring up the fact that the resort she wants was reviewd well for families with kids.. and poorly for young couples

 

wait so you have to pay for your room?

man that seems weak, my cousin was getting married on mackinac island this summer and they had rooms for all the wedding party. people just had to get there

 

Tell her what you just posted, or send her the link.

I always thought that was covered to some degree by the wedding couple...

I would get a room elsewhere.

I hate when brides go ape-shit and want 15 star resorts for a weeding that she will probably end up crying because it wasn't what she envisioned.

 

your friends are jerks
divorce them and save yourself a load of cash

 

thats what i thought too.. i always thought that the bridal party at least gets paid for

 

I'd hate to pull weeds on my wedding day h:


Seriously though, as everyone mentioned, get a room else where, just say you don't have the funds for it but you will still be there h:

 

can always share rooms

fuck ur gonna get hammered drunk and pass out at 2am .. just split a room

 

how do i bring it up that the wedding couple should cover part of the cost?
