ready? okay! so, this weekend my sis (matron of honor) and friend (sole bridesmaid) threw a co-ed shower for us at a wine tasting place. super cool.

Posted by kare (aka kare) May 10 '10, 09:02

bridesmaid's husband, who i consider a friend too (though by association) and who is known for not having much of a filter anyway (will talk about anything and everything sexual in nature, profanity galore, but no big deal to me usually), got pretty buzzed and basically pissed off/offended half the people there. J's parents and brother, my brother. thank god my parents weren't there.

I knew he was a little out of control but 1) I am used to it and 2) I didn't hear a lot of what he was saying/doing and 3) People seemed to be handling it okay. In hindsight I should have taken him aside and told him to chill, but I also know if he's been drinking there's not much that can be done to stop him. I heard about it at both family functions yesterday. so I am now VERY worried about the rehearsal dinner and wedding. if he pulls that shit again it will basically ruin things.

i already emailed my friend about my concerns (and am waiting for her reply). J offered to talk to him directly but i'm just not sure that would end well.

my brother and i got in a (very rare) argument in front of J's parents so that was great too.

i am *so* done with people right now. please bring on the honeymoon.

(i hope this thing doesn't explode.)

Sounds like you are on the right track. Sometimes the things you worry about never materialize though -- nm - Epiphany May 10, 09:33
I think your friend should have first shot at fixing this. She's doubly responsible, as your bridesmaid and wife to the guy -- nm - Roger More May 10, 09:10 2
- it's just... funny. i never expected this level of drama with, just, everything. silly, silly me. -- nm - kare May 10, 09:12
- agreed. -- nm - Beaker May 10, 09:11
groiny's wife is your bridesmaid? -- nm - Dano May 10, 09:10 1
- I was just wondering when I managed to attend this event? nm -- nm - groiny May 10, 09:16
It sounds like if you don't address it now, you'll end up with him "basically ruin"ing things. - TWuG May 10, 09:07
Yup, he has to be lassoed in one way (by your friend) or another (you). -- nm - HdnAgnda May 10, 09:07
it sucks, but it's not as crazy as the bachelor party I was at - znufrii May 10, 09:05 22
- nice! i guess a lot of it is just: alcohol makes some people stupid sometimes. - kare May 10, 09:10 1
  - very...and now I remember what it's about... - znufrii May 10, 09:14
- I kind of want this to happen... - Mel Profit May 10, 09:10 19
  - search for him? f*ck no... - znufrii May 10, 09:19
  - If you were to get married in Las Vegas, don't invite me. I'll put Mike Tyson's tiger in the suite. -- nm - crash davis May 10, 09:12 14

      - You want a real life Lady GaGa video. -- nm - David May 10, 09:20 3
        
        I want a Lady GaGa video...on bad acid. -- nm - Mel Profit May 10, 09:21 2
        
        acid is like pizza - sherlock homie May 10, 09:25 1

    - Kelly, you and I have to get married in Vegas and invite Crash.... - Will Hunting May 10, 09:14 3
      - I'm kidding. Tyson can beat me up. I'll steal a tiger from Siegfried and Roy. -- nm - crash davis May 10, 09:16 2
        
        I don't care where you steal the tiger from......just seeing you try to procure one will be worth the hassle. -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 09:17 1
        
        Ah, look...a kitty! -- nm - crash davis May 10, 09:18

  - laughing. -- nm - kare May 10, 09:11 1
    - in fact... - Mel Profit May 10, 09:12
So like, is not inviting him an option? -- nm - con_carne May 10, 09:05 3
- his wife is a bridesmaid and his daughter a flower girl. still - i guess. but that would suck for my friend. -- nm - kare May 10, 09:06 2
  - We all make our "bridezilla" jokes, and that's fine, but this dude is asking to get a special kind of bridezilla from you: out of the wedding -- nm - con_carne May 10, 09:12 1
    - can I say it with a Heidi Klum accent? -- nm - kare May 10, 09:13
do you think friend will assist you, or balk? any experience on that front? -- nm - TFox May 10, 09:04 8
- uncharted territory. i'm nervous. she's terrific, but it's a weird position. -- nm - kare May 10, 09:05 7
  - yeah, I think your step one is right, ask her for advice/help. who knows how that'll go. - TFox May 10, 09:07 6
    - If nothing else, put someone in charge of keeping him away from any microphones. Their siren song is apparently irresistable to the Wedding Drunk. n - ralph wiggum May 10, 09:29 2
      - laughing. luckily there will be no mikes. dodged that bullet. - kare May 10, 09:32 1
        
        megaphone -- nm - znufrii May 10, 09:33
    - i hope so. frickin frackin. -- nm - kare May 10, 09:09 2
      - having been "drunk filterless dude" plenty, it's imperative that he gets the point before that day. - TFox May 10, 09:10 1
        
        word -- nm - Beaker May 10, 09:12
heh -- nm - Nightcrawler May 10, 09:04 1
- i'm just curious - why are your panties all in a bunch? did i do something to piss you off along the way? - kare May 10, 09:08
ugh. that sucks. -- nm - Andie May 10, 09:04
I think your approach is good. -- nm - Don Homer May 10, 09:04
normally the phrase "co-ed shower" makes me a lot more excited (congrats again kare) -- nm - crash davis May 10, 09:04
alcohol is so much fun! nm -- nm - groiny May 10, 09:03
