'kay, not my friend, but I'm thinking if she wants y'all to go out for dinner at a swanky place and she's expecting fucking PRESENTS? She pays for the dinner.
End. Of. Story.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yes, for the "Bachlorette Party" portion of the evening.
You can't spend $30 for the entree. You're going to need the money for drinks and strippers.
Aimee, I'm sorry the world of money keeps smacking you on the head. I'm sure you know you're going to need to ask for a fraud alert at all three credit bureaus and get a police report.

I agree. Or, if not the Bride, the MoH, who is the one that for sure decided this is where the shower is at.
I wish it were over.

If I only had a brain...
You know, Aimee, I think you would be COMPLETELY justified at this point in saying "With a new baby, our finances are tight. I will happily attend the wedding and bring a present, but I can't afford to spend money on anything else."
This is insane.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Jesus, Aimee. The more you post about this, the more I want to smack them.Oh, dear. In my eternally mememeeeeeness of the past few days, I completely forgot to respond to this. However, Fay convienently spoke for me. I am so completely proud of you for standing up to the outspending the Jones-athon that this seemed to become. It's a celebration, not a way to spur on the economy. Or, at least, it should be.
This post brought to you by commas, all mine.

I'm a bridesmaid.
We have decided NOT to go to the hotel restaurant and honestly, I probably won't be ther for that portion of the evening.
So, yeah. It sucks all the way around. Shrug. I'm going to do what I can and if Bride or MoH has a problem with it, I can easily give back the dress and tell them both to get bent.

It's reaching that point. However, you don't have to say "get bent"; you can say "I can't afford this right now, but I hope you have a lovely time."
