As we all know (with Alibi Ike being the latest "victim"), wedding parties can be a PITA. So I wanted to share this story with you.
We recently had a house full of wedding guests that included some of the bridal party and were billed as being the young, fun crowd (NOT something I wanted to hear).
Night 1, my DH, who generally doesn't get involved with guests, stayed up chatting until the wee hours.
Night 2 we told them we would be outside sitting around the firepit and they were welcome to join us. They all left the wedding as soon as was polite and joined us with bags of marshmallows.
Night 3 they met up with guests from other inns to walk down the hill to our closest bar / restaurant and asked if they could borrow some of my hats (I have something of a hat fetish). The guys were wearing my floppy straw hats (some with flowers) and the girls were in fedoras, stetsons, bowlers etc. They wanted us to join them but I said DH was watching football and wouldn't want to be disturbed ..... and off they went. I told DH and he said - "Why Not - let's go and join them". We put on our hats (because we usually put on hats). Walked into the small bar and heard a buzz start around the room ....
.... "see, I told you it must be hat night" ....... "It's hat night? .... "no one told us it was hat night" ..... "why didn't we wear our hats' ...... "go home and get our hats" ...... "next time let us know when it's hat night" ...... "are you going to be doing hat night again" ...... "when's the next hat night" ........
This group definitely bucked the trend. They were also surprisingly neat and tipped well.
