Super August 2013

I'm so bitter about the days that led up to my wedding, the days after the wedding, and my MOH.

It's almost been a month and I am ready to get it off my chest and who better than people I don't know? I need to vent and I also need to hear your opinions on what you would do in this situation.

We got married in Las Vegas. My husband and I decided to help with costs and rent a huge 15 passenger van to drive our bridal party down there instead of them having to fly there. The agreement was that my MOH would drive part of the way to relieve FH from driving (she's the only person I trusted with the rental because she can pull her horses in trailers - I didn't even trust myself driving it). Well as soon as we pack up the van and get on our way she falls asleep and didn't wake up till we reached LV (12 hour drive).

That night was my bachelorette party night - her and I got in a fight because she only wanted to go to the clubs she wanted. That night ended with lots of tears by me.

The next night was the night before the wedding and we had rehearsal cont..

    That ended by 8 and we decided we would all go out till midnight. Well, bad choice by my brother but we went to an all you can drink for $20 bar on the strip. I had one drink but everyone else was getting pretty hammered. One of the grooms mans wife was grinding on a bunch of dudes (weird relationship they share) and another groomsman went to confront the guys. I went up to them and pulled the wife away and yelled at the groomsman about trying to start a fight. I said he is always trying to cause some kind of trouble. He yells at me and tells me "you dumb f*cking b*tch", yadda yadda yadda. I yelled at him and told him not to talk to me ever again that I was just trying to prevent everyone from having black eyes at my wedding the next day. Well DH got mad at me for calling his groomsman a trouble maker and we got in one the of the worst fights we'd EVER been in. I left crying with my brother and MOH because the other girls didn't want to come. It was bout 2 o'clock cont..

    When the rest of the girls came to my suite (mind you we said we will stay at till midnight so we have a sleepover and be well rested for the wedding)

    At this point, I am so done with them for not coming with me. In my opinion they were selfish for wanting to continue to drink and have fun while I was a sobbing mess the night before my wedding so I asked them to go ahead and sleep in their own rooms and that we would meet up in the morning. I did not want to deal with a bunch of drunk girls when the man I was supposed to marry the next day was angry with me. So they leave and my MOH stayed. I called DH to come to the room so we could talk. As soon as he got their my MOH left with one of the GM. After we figured things out I went to find my MOH and she said that she will just stay with the rest of the girls that night and I said "okay, not sure that you remember but it's the night before the wedding we all agreed to stay together I would still like to have you with me." cont..

    She said "I'll be up there at 11 tomorrow". I just walked away and cried to DH about how nothing was going right. He left the suite at about 6am (no sleep for either of us before wedding). We weren't even supposed to be together that night. Anyway..the girls get there and they are all in bad moods since they were hungover. My MOH starts telling me how everyone was talking about how rude I was to not let them stay there and that I was a b*tch. I looked at her and was like why are you telling me this the day of my wedding? Anyways, the wedding went well but MOH was yelling at me constantly. That night we got in a fight after wedding. The next day we went on the strip she got mad because we weren't going where she wanted so another fight. The girls told me she was like "you guys should walk with me not her". At one point I went up to her and said "hey I love you this is ridiculous to be fighting on this trip" she just turned her face. To summarize everything, I had a really bad time cont.

    Sounds like you had a train wreck of a wedding. You can't do anything about that. Maybe choose your friends more wisely. Because it really sounds like they used your wedding as a chance to party and a trip, NOT to celebrate with you.

    On my wedding trip. I just can't get over it. Everyone kept saying I shouldn't let one person get to me so much this would be true if she wasn't getting to everyone. I think she argued with EVERYONE on the trip including Husband. Oh and on the way back (we weren't talking) and I asked "is anyone willing to drive DH is really tired to the point where we are going to need to get a hotel room so he can rest". MOH than said she needed to be home for work in the morning and that it wasn't an option to stop or have her drive because she needed rest. Again she fell asleep for the next 18 hours because thats how long it took to get back because he had to keep stopping to nap.

    I haven't talked to her since and don't want her friendship anymore. Granted I know she is an only child and wants everything her way but why was it so hard to suck it up for a few days? She has wrote me a couple times asking what she had done wrong? I just want nothing to do with her.

    I agree with Halloween bride. Not that a bride should be a complete biatch on their wedding and everyone should kiss your butt and do whatever you wanted (not saying you were btw lol) but they should put what you want to do first, with in reason. Maybe they could of said hey after we go to such and such club can we try this one out. Not pick a fight with you over stupid shit. Your MOH shouldn't have told you what the girls were saying on your wedding day, that could of waited. I wouldn't talk to any of them for a very long time. I have one bm who I got into a fight with and won't be talking to anymore unless she tries to be a friend.

    I am so sorry you had such a bad time Smiley sad This was supposed to be a good time for everyone not just your bridal party. ::HUGS::

    Sounds awful. In time, I hope the bad memories fade, and you remember the wonderful parts of the day.

    I personally think the heavy duty, alcohol-fueled festivities should be wrapped up at least a week before the wedding. Stress, copious amounts of alcohol, and a group of diverse personalities looking for a great time in the party capitol of the U.S., aren't good combinations. For the best outcome, I think couples should have a nice rehearsal dinner with a few drinks, and then head back to their rooms so that they have a good chance of being rested and not hungover for the big day (the event that caused all of the celebrating in the first place).

    Since she keeps writing you and asking what she did wrong tell her! Don't call names , even though I am sure you want too lol, but tell her flat out what she did. You should have no problem doing that. You will feel 1,000 times better :-) I know I did since I let everything out last night

    Sounds like a bunch of immature people in Vegas ...a shit show

    Sorry : /

    We went to a Vegas wedding last year however most of the attendants were 25+ married with kiddos. The only night that we all got trashed everyone had sitters but there was NO drama. We were all hungover for the wedding ...I even wore sunglasses to it and I slept through the reception lol

    You got married in Vegas....booze can sometimes create interesting situations. It's one of the reasons I can NO hard liquor at my rehearsal, wedding or in my of the rental house the week leading up tot he wedding. We stuck to wine and beer! : ) either way you got married right!? Celebrate!

    @HalloweenBride & @Leanna -

    The thing is I am not really mad at the other girls. They were all very kind to me the entire trip. I get it we were in Vegas and it's fun. Though, they shouldn't have forgotten the reason we were in Vegas. I can't do anything about that. We paid for their way to get there which cost us $1400 - for rental and gas. They should have appreciated that.

    I've been friends with these girls since 6th grade. I'm the first to get married out all of us. I guess they just don't know what all goes into a wedding.

    As for my MOH, I can't stop the angry feelings I have. She's such an awful friend to me. I don't even want to explain to her that because she should already know.

    Haha, your all so right guys.

    BOTTOM LINE: DO NOT GET MARRIED IN VEGAS IF YOUR FRIENDS HAVE 1) NEVER BEEN 2) TOO IRRESPONSIBLE TO NOT GET WASTED FOR A NIGHT 3) TOO IMMATURE.

    I'd tell her flat out what she did. She's asking, lay it on her. Bad people sometimes don't realize they're bad and sometimes need a wake-up call!

    I am really super sorry it was such a bad time. Smiley sad

    I agree that you should be up front and just tell her straight how you feel. She needs to know that she really sucked it up on the trip. I'm so sorry you went through all of this on your special day. Smiley sad

    Whew this made me exhausted just reading about it! I would have a serious talk with MOH, let her know all the ways she hurt you and maybe re evaluate if you want that person as a best friend.

    As far as H, he needs to confront the groomsman who name called you and let him know that will not stand ever again, and they both need to apologize to you.

    I'm really sorry to hear that. It seems like when planning and doing big events such as weddings, you begin to realize who your true friends really are.

    Yes, I supposed you're all right. I do need to tell her what she did wrong. I just haven't wanted to deal with it or think about it.

    As for the groomsman that did that, he was just upset because he thought he was helping the guys whose wife was dancing. We both thought we were helping but neither of us really were. His g.f told me he was crying about it later that night because he felt so bad. I knew he didn't mean it and I also shouldn't have called him a troublemaker.
