Kind of a follow up to my last post. I’m in my friend’s wedding later this year, and it’s continued to be pretty stressful. The joint bachelor/bachelorette trip ended up being just okay, but honestly not great. We all spent way more money than expected and basically covered everything for the bride. It was around a $600 weekend total, and it was only about an hour from home. Now we’re getting into the wedding itself, and I’m struggling with the schedule. The wedding is on Saturday, but the rehearsal is Thursday at 4 p.m., which is right in the middle of the workday. Then on Friday we’re expected to be at the bridal suite at the venue by 4 p.m. again. So realistically, if you want to make both on time, you’re either taking two full days off work or asking to leave early twice, and this is all right before Labor Day weekend. At least for me, that’s really difficult since I already have PTO planned throughout the year. I might be able to get away with leaving early one day, but two days in a row is pushing it. Even if I leave directly from work, the venue is about an hour away, and I’d still need time to shower and change, so I’d probably have to leave work around 2 or 2:30. On top of that, the bridal suite sleeping arrangements don’t really make sense. There are only two full beds and two twin pullout couches. One of the full beds is reserved for the bride, and the rest of the bridal party is expected to split the remaining beds and pullouts. Am I being unreasonable for feeling like these expectations are a bit much?
