OK.. tell me what you all think..
PLans for my bridal shower have been in the works since June. We decided then to have it at this FANTATIC, somewhat trendy little restaurant called LeMetro. We didn''t really make any offical bookings until just recently.. but we talked to the people several times.. and my sister called about two weeks ago to offically reserve the date (its a wednesday evening, March 15th)..but they didn''t ask for a deposit or anything.. so today, my mother calls me and said she was just talking to my sister who heard from someone "reliable" that they charge a $200 room rental fee.. and that if its true they want to move my shower somewhere else (the place where they want to move it I am absolutely vetoing.. ) So.. I think its a little odd that they never mentioned this to us, so it might not even be true.. but my mom said she wanted to make sure I wouldn''t be "too disappointed".. I basically told her whatever.. I''m not paying for it.. its up to them.. but I think I sort of let her know with the tone of my voice that I wasn''t happy.. but then as soon as I hung up the phone.. I burst into tears.. I REEALLLLY had my heart set on this place. Its one of those restaurants that I LOVE but don''t get to go to that often.. and its just totally what I had in mind for my shower..
Sooooo.. what I did... is call FI and told him to call his mom, who I KNOW will offer to put up the extra money (she is splitting the cost with my mom and my sister anyway) if she knows it will make me happy, because that is how she is, and she especially would if she saw what a craphole their alternate location that they picked was (she is very concerned with appearances, you know.).. I don''t really know what her reaction was yet..THe other possiblity is that she will call the original place and throw a fit that no one mentioned the room rental fee at any point to us..
But.. am I a HORRIBLE person for sort of going behind my mom and sisters backs on this one?
