...and it probably won't be the last one. Surprisingly it's not with the actual wedding plans or with the bride or groom. It's about people being rude when plans have been made then they decide to change without notice or regard to how it may affect others.
A few weeks back we visiting with the Queen's family (all siblings, their spouses, and the Queen's parents). It was discussed and agreed that for the weekend of our daughter's upcoming wedding we should all stay at the same hotel ("..motel...holiday inn with a mix of ...at the car wash). Any-hoo, the Queen spent 2 or 3 days on the phone attempting to block off rooms while getting the best discount for the most amenities. She then sent a group message to all who may need a room for that weekend. The location selected is a national chain and was the only place which had enough rooms for the required number, the price was reasonable and the place had a nice indoor pool for the kids as well as a sitting area large enough for everyone to visit and enjoy the weekend together.
So here's the rub: The Queen gets a FB post this morning that three families have decided to make their reservations elsewhere. This change was made without a call to discuss it before making the change and without regard to how their change may affect the others in the group. There will now not be enough rooms reserved to reach the required number for the blocked discount and people are now going to be scattered.
To make matters worse it was the Queen's two sisters and her mom, it completely caught her off guard. Needless to say she was in tears and is so upset I'm afraid to even try to approach her in order to calm her down.
I'm only venting because I want the opinions of others. My take is to let them stay where they want but keep our room where it is since other guests will be staying there. If we move ours then that affects others who are going down to share this event with us as well as with our daughter. I think it was extremely rude and disrespectful to move without at least a conversations since it was previously agreed that the Queen was going to block off the rooms for everyone.
Am I wrong?
