All right, before I write all of this, let's get some things straight. I love B and P to death. I love them both individually; I love them both together... I understand the whole thing about getting married as a sign of commitment, but at the same time, if I don't think I need commitment at 26, they probably are true to each other in their 40s-50s. All that said, I really do wish them the very best, and about 28 hours from now, they will be a happily (hope so) married couple.
Now for the rant.
How incompetent and FUCKING stupid can people be?
Let's recount the day's events... The Ex comes in, and it is nice to see her. I think we actually have a pretty good relationship after we stopped being a couple. I think this to myself as she ashes on my bed... AGAIN... so I guess I'll take that comment back. We got to Bill and Patricia's, since TDawg needs to be in bed early for a 6am flight, it is my duty to get her there early. Hmmmmm, who is at the house... bride, and two friends... no, no groom, no no-one. No problem by me, crack open a cold one, and try to chat it up with the Cunucks. Turns out that the groom needed to drive some people around town. Why you may ask??? Well someone didn't like their hotel room. Yup, the groom decided that it would be nice to do this. I am thinking probably the bride's crazy family; so just a normal occurrence. About 30-an hour later L shows up... and says she needs to talk to me... conversation goes like this:
L: 0ver, I know you sent me a bunch of stuff for the bachelorette party... but
0ver: Yeah yeah, all is good, you girls ready to go?
L: Aaaahh, well, actually, I got nothing?
0ver: Huh?
L: Well, we don't really have anything to do... couldn't find any strip clubs, or any guys to go see.
0ver: you got to be kidding me
L: Can you help?
0ver: Aaaah, the limo will be here in about 10 minutes??? Are you serious?
L: Yup.
So, push, shove... call here and there, about 30 minutes later we have us a bachelorette party. Got them a VIP room in a bar, and a couple of guys to come by and shake their asses. "Thanks 0ver, you're the best." If I didn't love P to death, and if L wasn't her very attractive sister ;)... man, should have smacked you for that.
Back to the excitement. The groom is nowhere to be found. He is still driving these asses around town. Turns out... and I am not 100% on this still, but the people he is driving around... Some dude, and his wife. The wifey is supposedly a picky bitch that got mad that the bathroom was a little dirty at their other hotel. No wonder sh|t is wrong, this guy can’t even take charge (or control, as I like to call it) of his stuff (or his woman)! By this time I realize that when the girls left, they also decided to leave my ex... even though I specifically asked them to give her a ride home. No dice. Fortunatly, since we can actually talk now, I was able to just get her a cab, and salvage the situation.
Aaaah, but back to the groom. Nowhere to be found. So, what are we doing tonight? NO ONE KNOWS. There's no bachelor party. There's a limo outside, but nothing to do with it. Let me tell you, it is much easier to organize a bachelorette party than a bachelor party. Couldn't find any more bars to close off, and there were too many kids at the house for a house call. Not good. I think I've called everyone I could, and I guess a strip club is the best I can do on short notice.
Groom is still not around. Guys are sitting around stroking it. There's also two guys there... the boyfriend of the girl, who is the bartender at a place we go to sometimes... and his friend... what is this, a carnival? I mean if this was a bar-b-q, maybe... but this is a bachelor party... we don't even know these guys. Anyway, we cram everyone in a limo, drive north to pick up the people that were chaufered around all night by the groom... and go to the club.
As I try and talk to the people there, the friend... of the guy... who is the boyfriend of the bartender.... who is now looking at some ass... at the bachelorette party I set up for them... well, he decides to start giving shit to the guy at the window. These people that work at strip joints... well, most are pricks. If you provoke them, it is not good. Thank G_d that situation got defused. I've never been the one to bitch about money... But out of the 11 guys (me, 11 guys + groom, 13 total) only one asked if he could chip in. So I am dropping the entry fee. F* it, no problem, just the usual. A few more bucks upstairs for the booze... no problem... There was a dude there that had the balls to set up a little dance for B on stage, thank you. And E was the only one that at least made an effort by trying and collect some funds from people to get a little more for the groom. 11 guys... $120 yup... 11 guys, $120. Essentially that is $10.90 per person. STOP BEING F*N J3WS! I pitch in the rest and send the boy off for a good time. At this point I am trying to figure out if we need another limo. We have 13 people in a "10 person" limo... and if you know how that works, you know people are sitting on the bar.
The evening ends with us getting back into the limo, people bitching about the lack of liquor... us pulling over and me buying more liquor, them bitching about it being not the right stuff... us getting home... 4am??? late.
*** Highlight of the evening ***
The asshole's errrr the friend of the guy who is the boyfriend to the bartender... well, his girlfriend is very attractive. That whole girl next door thing. Seems like a nice person too, and she plays piano. PLAYS UNBELIEVABLY GREAT PIANO! well, got to hear her play, got to talk for a sec... got to see her boyfriend talk to her like trash... considered stabbing him. Probably correctly decided against it. But pleasure to meet this girl. Anyway, she was the highlight.
So, time to drive home. Get there, decide it would be a good idea to sleep with the ex. I'll end there, because I don't feel like talking about any of the specifics... but the highlight of that was the fact that the fuse blew somewhere. Not fun trying to get ready for a meeting in New York when only the kitchen lights work.
Well, what have we learned today?
Weddings suck.
People are not responsible to their duties as best man/maid of honor.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Dropping $600 on ungrateful bastards is pointless, they will still complain.
Spending $600 on a great guy is an awsome feeling.
Stop sleeping with the EX.
I'm done, need to get some work done.
