My MOH Stole My Bachelorette Trip

I’m getting married this October and I’ve tried so hard to keep everything simple and laid back.

I told my bridal party I didn’t want anything expensive or over-the-top.

A few of the girls are in school. One just had a baby. One recently lost her job. I didn’t want to make anyone feel like they had to spend a ton of money just to celebrate with me.

I came across this super cute “Camp Bachelorette” theme and thought it was perfect.

Matching flannel pajamas. A cozy Airbnb cabin. Campfires. S’mores. Wine. A little hike. Some board games. Just cozy fall vibes.

Everyone seemed into it.

Especially my maid of honor, let’s call her Ashley. She’s been my best friend since we were ten.

Ashley told me she wanted to plan the whole thing and keep it a surprise. She promised it would still match the vibe I described. I was a little unsure about giving up control but I get that typically the maid of honor does plan the bach trip and I trusted her so.

Huge mistake.

About two weeks ago, I got a message in our group chat:

“Nashville, baby!!! Flights are booked! Yeehaw 🤠”

I thought it was a joke.

It wasn’t.

Ashley planned an entire weekend in Nashville.

VIP club crawl. Party bus. Cowboy hats. a pedal pub. And Chippendales.
like. not to be that girl. but the only sausage i wanted to see that weekend was the one i was roasting on a stick by the fire lol

It’s the complete opposite of what i wanted.

And guess what? it cost over $1,200 per person.

I told Ashley this wasn’t the plan and I appreciated her planning something but seriously all i wanted was chill, affordable, and cozy.

she basically told me I was being boring and said, “This isn’t summer camp and we’re not 10. No one wants to sit around roasting marshmallows all weekend.”

She had also already put down deposits, so it’s too late to cancel.

Then she ends if off by calling me ungrateful.

Now the group is totally split.

Two of the girls are upset. One backed out completely. My friend Haley called me crying because she literally couldn’t afford the trip and felt too embarrassed to say anything earlier.

And now Ashley is mad at me for “ruining the vibe” and says I’m being a bridezilla.

I wanted a weekend that felt relaxing and fun for everyone. Now I feel like I’m being forced into this giant party I never asked for, and can't even celebrate with some of my closest friends.

It feels like it's Ashely's bachelorette and i'm just a guest.

I'm lost on what to do next... Any suggestions?

Ashley thinks this is her wedding apparently. She just used your bachelorette as an excuse to throw the party she wanted. And lol @ the sausage part 😂
