So our social was this past friday(for those of you who are not familiar it is a fundraising party thing us manitobians do) Our best men that I have never really liked but also supported my man because it is one of his best friends. He told me in mid January that he had already sold 20 tickets, that wonderful, that great I didnt force you to sell that many tickets, but hey thanks.
Then he offers a full set of golf clubs for our silent auction, irons, woods and a bag, again hey thats great, wonderful, you didnt have to but we will for sure use it.
Now a week before the social I ask to come to his house and pick these prizes and ticket money up. He is working in TO but will just bring them friday night to the social, ok, I will deal with that.
Its now friday morning of our social, also good friday so the stores are closed. He calls us to say his flight would not be in until 5, and we should pick up the golf clubs at his gf house, ok not a big deal.
On our way there he calls to say his flight is delayed and wont be in til 6, alright the social doesnt start until 8 and goes until 2am
When we get to the clubs, all there is is 7 irons, no bag no woods.. o my I am a little upset now. Then the gf gives us ticket money for ten, alright so he lied a little No biggie. Then she tells us they wont e there until 11! because his flight wont be in til 10, and his office is closed because it is good friday so there is no bag or woods because they are at the office,
Nice 7 clubs in a garbage bag
lucky my aunt saved the day and had bag we could have.. whew
but the whole night goes by no best man arrives.. no text to phone call until the next day at 2 pm, he sends me a text
I hope the night was great, got bumped off my flight.
Now what I really dont want him in our wedding party.. what happens the day of the wedding???
I told my husband to be that i dont trust him and it would be easier to replace him now than the morning of our June 21, 2008 wedding!!
he tells me not to worry that he will be there
I dont know??

Take a deep breath, its ok. It was terrible of him to lead you on about some things, but i didn't see anything in that post that said he intentionally did this to you. He was bumped from his flight, that sucks. Don't do something now that your going to regret later.

| it wasn't his fault...i really don't think you can blame him, and it was awesome of him to sell those tickets and get you the golf clubs...you should probably be grateful how did your social go other than that? it's good to have another manitoba girl on here

| I agree. It doesn't sound like it was his fault. And he was sending updates throughout the night. He's a guy. I'm sure he didn't realize your expectations. I'd say the only think you can do is ask him not to have a flight on your wedding day. Make sure he travels a day or two before.

I'd say the only think you can do is ask him not to have a flight on your wedding day. Make sure he travels a day or two before. I also agree, it completely sounds like its not his fault. Flights get cancelled/delayed/bumped all the time. And if he was gone for work, then it's really not his fault he missed the social. Should he have given you everything sooner? sure. but he's a guy.  I would just forget about it, and just not give him any responsibility for the day for your wedding, besides showing up.  Don't sweat the small stuff.

I just think that if a 30 yr old cant call and say sorry I got bumped I think that he may just be lying also..
Its not the first time he has not come to something..
I am grateful, but he is making it seem like I am asking him for all of this, when if he cant do it, dont offer ... you know

| Sorry to say it - but he's a dude. And according to my FH - dudes generally speaking - not all - have a totally different concept of these things. He probably didn't even realize how important it was that he there. I'm not saying that excuses him if he's insensitive or thoughtless - I'd just downgrade expectations of him and not rely on him at all - aside from being there the day of - THAT he better be able to handle at least!
