bloody weddings

Why do they have to be so expensive for the guests!!

Since the systems have been down in work for 3 days now, I've been investigating costs to get to Vegas in March, and its proving too costly (as Jamie doesnt want to come, and I can't spare a whole weeks holiday, at year end), which is really annoying me, cos I'd really like to be there.

I got the invite for Carol's (old school friend) engagement party in the post today, 24th November, which is fine cos I already booked it off, but its not in Pembrokeshire like I was expecting (where I would be able to get the train to, and have parents to put me up/take me to and from the party). No, its in Llantwit bloody Fadre, which is just outside Cardiff (literally just around the corner from where I was born/used to live). Impossible for me to get to without spending loads of money, nowhere for me to stay without a) spending loads of money on a hotel or b) not drinking and driving the hour and a half to my parents house after the party.

I think I'll text Carol and see if she has any bright ideas.

Gaaaaaah.

Not to mention the absolute fortune that Tash's hen weekend is costing me.

Bloody weddings indeed! They really do cost a fortune, Ironically, this is (honest to god) one of the reasons we chose Vegas - it never occurred to us that anyone would actually come out there, but we thought that mosty people would be at Crusade. We could therefore lay on a decent reception without al the expensive elements for either hosts or guests - no fancy outfits, hotel bills, travel costs, gifts etc for the guests to fork out on (and lordy, those do run up!), and just Food And Booze for us to pay for.

Thanks for looking into it though - and will see you soon (will check the diary).
