69. Hush
My best friend wasn’t really a bridezilla about the wedding. But she asked me to host an after-party because the reception was non-alcoholic at a church fellowship hall. So she wanted to invite her friends to my house afterward to drink, sit around a bonfire, and celebrate.
I was told there would be 15-20 guests. I made food for 20 people. I bought flowers and decorations. I bought enough beer and made enough mojitos for 20. 4 hours after the expected start time of this post-reception hootenanny, she and her husband and one other friend showed up.
I was livid. I laid into her. I got drunk and went to sleep. The reason for the delay? She wanted to open presents first. The reason for no one showing up? She neglected to tell anyone.
