my girlfriend of like 1 1/4 yrs has a sister gettin married in st lucia
her options are as follows:
A: they spend 1700 on both of us combined and we owe them back 1/2 of that
B: her mom spends 1200 on her to go (which her mom was spending anyway since it was an all inclusive resort for 2400 a couple and her grandma was going alone) and she stays with her grandmother
C: she stays home with me
remember we are broke as hell right now
edit: that 1700= us being not with her fam the entire time there aside from the wedding itself
this was ment for girls or guys who have ever been in a seruos relationship…since my last relationship was about 5 yrs and this one means more to me than ever b4
i would try to save like hell and go. This would be a great experience for you and her and it’s her family. I’m sure she would feel SO leftout if she didn’t make it. Any chance of taking on extra work or selling some things to get some $$?
No offence, but people that do that kind of shit are assholes. Congrats for your wedding, but why in the hell are you going to make it such a burden on everyone else to be there for you.
my gf sister is getting married in aruba the only diff is is that they are paying everything and we don’t have to pay them back which is awesome cause me and my gf fly for free anyway i would think that since they asked you to go they would pay for you
Destination weddings the craze or not are retarded. You want people to be there don’t make it a finacial burdern… Its her sisters wedding she has to go… So if you can’t make it don’t make her stay at home – As for you going or not going it is pretty shitty that they cant help you out…and they should def not hold it against you … As a chick I would be upset if my guy didn’t go but under the circumstances would understand the money issue
i agree, i had a friend who was going to do this alst summer and asked me to be his best man and i turned him down. luckily he ended up changed the date and doing it here
no the wedding is in 2 weeks and my new job doesnt even start till next week…
thats what i’ve been trying to convince her of…i dont know why she doesnt want to go if i cant…i understand she wants us both to be there but if i can not go, she still can not miss this
^ HAHA … If she’s getting pissed at you for not being able to come up with the cash in 2 weeks then she seriously needs some help… How long have you known about this wedding? Cause if you had a few months to plan for this then she has you by the balls and would find a way to get your ass down there…
she’s not mad at me at all…her sister was going to alope but we knew she was going a while ago, then her other sister talked her into telling the family and inviting everyone about a week and a half ago…
I would make sure she goes no matter what. Then if you think you can pay them backover time fine, if it has be as soon as you get back I would be honest and strait forward telling them you are going thourgh a job transition and popping this on you 2 weeks prior is making it extremely hard.
Then if they still look down on you about it hope your GF understands. If not tell them all to fuck off and its not your fault they sprung it up on you with such short notice.
I think if your GF is TRULEY serious about your relationship, even though she may not have as good of a time without you there, she should respect you enough that your not getting in over your head in a finacial situation.
If she holds it against you, she isn’t mature enough for a serious relationship. What the hell is going to happen if you guys get married and come on finacial hardships again? Is she going to be trustworthy through it or a burden…
they just invited everyone a week and 1/2 ago, and they expect you to spend that kind of loot… i think i would tell them it cant be done hell i get pissed about having to drop 50 bux in a card for a wedding i have known about for months
