Question for brides, How do I tell the bride I simply cannot afford to be in her wedding?
Filed Under Weddings | 45 Comments
An immediate family member is getting married and wants me to be a bridesmaid. I’m happy for her and want to be there, but the wedding involves a trip to an expensive resort and we just cannot afford the expense. Our family income cannot afford luxuries like outside trips. While I realize it’s her dream day and it’s important to her, how do I get her to understand this???
I work a lot of hours at my job and I just can’t afford to pay $800 to $1000 for a trip. We can’t afford a loan, don’t have space on a credit card, and she’s ticked off that I told her no. If we go, it means that we can’t pay for our house payment, and my boss has already told me that I can’t take the time off from work. I’ve just gotten a full time job and we’re trying to catch up on bills. The wedding is in 3 weeks, and this wedding was planned at the last minute.
As a bride, how do you recommend that I get her to understand? I love her, but I just can’t afford to go.
And no, we can’t borrow money from a family member, either. We’re still owing them money from when we were behind on bills.
I just got chewed out by my father in law for not being part of the family and putting my family before my job. And he says she is being generous by paying for my dress!! Now I have my entire in-law family upset at me for not being there for her.
I’d be happy to speak with her, but she never answers her cell phone and my work schedule makes it so I can’t stop by her house when she’s home.

i have a question about “Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort & Private Island – Luxury All Inclusive”
what exactly is included in “all inclusive”, soft drinks? alcoholic drinks? all food on the property?
are these type resorts usually pretty crowded or is it not that bad?
one more question
ive just been scanning through some of the pictures, of the private island and whatnot
ive noticed in all of the pictures of the bathrooms they have a big shower separate from a big garden tub
do all rooms have this set up? if not what is the starting level for the pretty nice rooms?

All inclusive resort in St Thomas?
Filed Under Other - Caribbean | 2 Comments
Can anyone suggest some all inclusive resorts in St Thomas? Preferably not too too expensive, but I would be willing to sacrifice some extra money for some extra luxury / comfortablility.
This is for my younger brother’s graduation present so we are looking for a nice place to kick back, enjoy some drinks, and just relax/have fun.
Anywhere that has a casino attached would be an added bonus too!
Thanks!

resignation?
Filed Under Mental Health | 2 Comments
I got the job 6 weeks ago.
I am a manager in huge -luxury resort. I used to work in small hotel and thought it could be good career move.
But I don’l like the atmosphere there – stress, fear and constant evaluation.
I am getting really anxious almost every day.
The major reason is permanent anxiety, it is propably too much for me.
I am still in propational period.
I am thinking about quitting the job.
But what reason I should use, they won’t understand for them is normal to make the employees feel fearfull and they don’t forget to remind me if i won’t perform they will kick me off..
thank you
