• Wedding- annoyance 101

  So I’ve made an appointment with a makeup artist to do a makeup and hair trial. I did this in September and we ended up with an agreed date sometime in December.

  Unfortunately it looks like I have to change it (originally it was going to be November but due to some mis-communication on my part- it was to be held in December). I’ve put it in my Google calendar which both my fiance and I use regularly (we have sharing capacity) so that we never ever try to double book ourselves.

  And so…

  last week, my partner decided that he was going to hold his grandpa’s 90th on the same day as the make-up trial. *sadface*

  Yes, it’s easy enough for me to re-schedule (im hoping for an earlier trial because it was originally set for 11am to 9am) but it’s not the point. The point is- this was something organized months ago, and my partner has decided to organize this “lunch” on a whim.

  This is meant to be a “surprise” birthday lunch, so I’m guessing considering it’s still or was in the “organizing” stage that it could be easily changed, but apparently not. Plus his grandpa’s birthday isn’t even until the Tuesday so really, what day or time this surprise thing is done doesn’t really matter right? WRONG!

  It has to be THAT Saturday because the venue that they’re holding it at is having a “christmas” lunch and if held on the Sunday.. it happens to be a seafood buffet (don’t ask me whats wrong with a seafood buffet) and apparently for whatever reason this isn’t preferable because you know, they wanna do the whole “christmas” and birthday thing all at the same time.

  To give my partner credit, he did ask me if I wanted it to be changed all the while making it sound like I’m the one being difficult. Okay maybe I am, but what the heck man, you know prior to committing the date, he had every access to check our calendars to see what was on, I mean he had the DECENCY to ask everybody else (in his family) if they were busy, but didn’t ask me or care to check (because you know I just drop everything at the drop of the hat for him).

  But to ask him to move it, does make me look like to everybody else in his family like I am as difficult as I seem (hahaha you know you want to hide the REAL truth until AFTER you get married).

  Here’s the OTHER thing…

   

  none of these people can access the venue without my pass because it’s being held at part of an exclusive club that needs a membership to enter. Which ONLY i hold.

  So really, they’re asking me a LOT, to use my access card (and having the lunch billed to my account), and having to re-schedule something THAT i was dilligent enough to organize..you know the whole being inconvenienced thing really does piss me off to no end.

   

  And you know what, this LUNCH.. was never the original plan to begin with. They were supposed to have organized “tram car dinners” but how you try to get 16 people on board something like that (forget whether or not all these people are free or can afford it), the tram car dinners are basically booked out for at least 3 months.  

  A combination of poor planning, irregular schedules, constant uprooting (from the grandparents side of things)- with them travelling up and down the country (long story)… in the end… I am the one that’s being INCONVENIENT..

  and it’s not like i have a choice NOT to attend.. like i mentioned, i don’t go, they’d all twiddle their thumbs outside this venue.

   

  Oh- and the other half today made a snide comment to me about it 

  “it’s lucky that we’ve started the preparations 18months early” *rage*

   

  Let me go kick a brick wall or something.

  getting angrier as i type this (and i thought it would help to vent)
