Galveston weekend

The bachelorette party for Juliet turned out to be a blast. I cannot describe to you how I felt at certain parts of the weekend. Like the time that someone backed out of the weekend at 11:30 a.m. on Friday morning. Well, wait a minute, you were included in the "bachelorette weekend party group" and said you’d pay your $100 for the weekend festivities, fajita dinner, and a 2 night stay in a sweet beach house. Here’s a pic:

And the other few times even before the weekend started where some bitches started getting fucking cheap and saying "not to include them in the RSVP list" (basically because they didn’t want to pay $100 for the weekend.

Perfect example from some bitch named Kejuanna:

Ashley,

I am writing to change my RSVP. I was not aware of the costs associated with the events of the weekend prior to my RSVP and now that I am, I am able to fully evaluate my attendance.  I will only be attending the shower and dinner scheduled on Saturday at Yamato Japanese Grill and will not be staying any nights in Galveston.  Will the shower be taking place at the beach house or at the restaurant on Saturday?

Thanks!

Ok Kejuanna, I love how you use such words in your email to sound smart and unaware of the fact that I emailed everyone beforehand as to how much things would cost. I will probably burn in hell for this, but Angela, Shannon and I are the only bridesmaids who are white. Everyone else is black, and suddenly, after this weekend and the crap that I saw, the other group of bridesmaids are looked at in a different light. What really chaps my ass is that these girls are smart. One is attending Harvard, others are getting their masters in two different programs. But the fact that they are cheap and it’s fucking obvious doesn’t really make me RESPECT (lol) them in the slightest. 

Here’s another email:

Hi Ashley,

When I sent you the RSVP for the party, I wasn’t aware that I was responsible for for paying for it.  I know that sounds odd, but typically the bachelorette parties I attend don’t require me to pay unless I’m a bridesmaid.  I do understand that the party is in Galveston, so the cost is higher.  The invitation nor your emails stated the cost.  If I would have known that, then I would have let you know.  Therefore, I will only attend the shower on Saturday and the dinner.

I apologize for the confusion.

And another:

Hi Ashley,

Thank you for putting things together.  I would like to attend some of the events this coming weekend and I RSVP’d through a friend so I am not sure if I am included in the count of people that need to pay.  But there is no way that I can pay $105 as I have other financial commitments at this time especially since I didn’t know what was going on until a few days ago.  So I just want to make sure my name isn’t included in the count of people paying $105.  I wasn’t aware of any of the events and the exact times, but now I believe the shower is on Saturday at 5 correct?  I can attend this event and pay my own way for dinner, but I will not be able to stay overnight for the costs involved.

Thanks again!

So in total, 6 people backed out. I gave them tons of notice. They’re just cheap and are shitty friends. And it was fucking funny too. These bitches showed up at the Japanese hibachi grill only on Saturday night. They were these rich, snobby girls who never even looked my way. They ordered RICE ONLY. Do you understand that they only ordered the cheapest thing on the menu to cut down on any cost?! This is a hibachi grill, where you order a big meal and they cook it in front of you. One girl who got rice started eating off another plate of someone who got chicken. How rude is that? How hood-rat-ish is that?! So we finish dinner and then they are supposed to follow us to the beach house. The fucking ringleader of the whole RICE EATING bunch hops in her brand-new big-ass Volvo to follow us. So, let’s see here… you don’t want to pay $100 for your friend’s bachelorette weekend, you only meet us at the restaurant, and you only eat rice, while you drive your $35,000 vehicle. Oh it was good.

Another thing that bugged me, was that Angela and I did all of the cooking and cleaning in this beac

h house the ENTIRE WEEKEND. None of the other girls asked if they could help, what they could do, etc. We even set out the decor for the lingerie party, and none of them said how nice it looked, etc. Poor Angela looked like she was about to cry. I, on the other hand, expected the worst, so it didn’t phase me. 

The good thing is that I got reimbursed for the whole weekend before I even left there. Thank GOD for that. I wasn’t about to cough up $600 for the girls who backed out on the weekend. I had no choice but to notify Juliet that her friends were cheap. She said she would pay for the ppl missing, and even though I hated that option, I let her do it because I don’t even have $200 to spare.

So in the end, it was fun, but it really left a bad taste in my mouth as to how every girl there acted. It was like shades of Enterprise. They may roll up in this huge vehicle all blinged-out, but do they have any real cash? No. Do they expect something for free? Yes. A year and a half at Enterprise prepared me for this weekend. It sucks that it has to be this way, but this example is coming from girls who are smart and have a good head on their shoulders. I sound so racist. Ugh. 

Anyway, that will be my last time to plan a bachelorette party. I cannot deal with shady folks.

In other news, I am still doing my teaching certification. It’s going well and I’m balancing my time between doing that and working. I’m excited to not put so many miles on my car and do something that I love to do all of the time, while still having my ‘me’ time in the summer. Is that too much to ask? My sales job now has spoiled me in the fact that I have summer’s off. I ((heart)) it 🙂

Back to work!
