The only saving grace of the party was that since nobody showed up, I didn’t have to share a bed with someone I didn’t know. She invited seven people to the trip. And, ngl, I think I’m too old to be doing the sleeping on the couch stuff anymore.

I went to a bachelorette last spring and it was extremely lame and very stressful. It was the first bachelorette I’ve even been to, so I didn’t understand that the girls were supposed to pay for the bride and only me and one other person committed to the entire thing (it was over a weekend) and I had been out of a job for a couple months at that point 😭 So it was a nasty surprise to have to pay for her. The other girl was also starting a new job and didn’t have a lot of money either. And, like, one of the girls who flaked only came to a lunch, ate, and fucking left without at least paying herself. And the bride rented an Air BnB that was $1000 for two nights! ONE THOUSAND FOR TWO NIGHTS! To her credit, she did end up paying for that, but she made it clear she would have if there was more than two of us, or if I had a job, she would have made us pay! Like, she didn’t even run an itinerary by us or discuss what she was looking at for accommodations. Idk, and the activities were pretty basic. They would have been more fun, but she isn’t really a drinker and is more of a straight-laced Christian type.
