Not horrible, but it definitely left me feeling kind of down. My bridesmaids dropped the ball with planning a bachelorette party (they said they were planning one but who knows what happened, ended up deciding what to do the day of), and we ended up meeting at a pool hall (none of us play pool) and awkwardly played for a couple hours. It was pretty fun, we're all friends so it wasn't bad, and we had some delicious apps. After about 2 hours or so they started wrapping it up. I thought we were going to go somewhere else after that or keep hanging out, but apparently that was the end of the night. The waitress came over and asked about checks, and they told her to split them evenly...including me. I paid for myself. Which isn't terrible, but definitely isn't tradition, and I have been the MoH in 2 of these friends' weddings, a bridesmaid in a 3rd, and in all 3 we planned awesome parties and covered everything.

It just felt like no one cared. I put so much into my friends' weddings and they all talk about how much they love when I do things for them like buy gifts or plan things because everything is so thoughtful and neat, and when it came to me getting married they decided an hour ahead of time to meet up at a pool hall, play for a few hours, make the bride pay for herself, and then go home. No games, no night out, anything. It just kind of made me feel like crap. I know it's a petty thing to feel like crap about, but with the amount of history in that group, it was a huge letdown. Bleh. Oh well.
