First of all, thank you all for your advice\u2014it is wonderful.<\/p>\n
I am getting married early next year and it is my second marriage. The first one was about three years ago and a big mistake (albeit very short-lived). My fianc\u00e9 was previously engaged, but this is his first marriage. We\u2019re both in our early thirties. His friends are planning a big bachelor party for him in the Bahamas meaning that all but one of the attendees will have to fly.<\/p>\n
I have four very close friends from college, all of whom live out of town. These girls planned a wonderful bachelorette party at the beach for me the first time around. Since then, I\u2019ve become close to a local friend and coworker who asked me the other day what \u201cwe were going to plan for my bachelorette party\u201d. I don\u2019t really have any other local friends to whom I\u2019m close. I very uncomfortably answered that I didn\u2019t really think anyone would be up for traveling again for a party and I didn\u2019t feel comfortable asking anyone about it, especially since I can\u2019t plan my own bachelorette party, although I didn\u2019t say that part aloud.<\/p>\n
Since then, she hasn\u2019t brought it up again and I certainly haven\u2019t either, but I feel sort of bad\u2014kind of like I blew off her offer to plan something for me. But she wasn\u2019t really offering to plan it, more wondering what I was going to plan. Should I just let the whole thing go and forget about it? Or should I just give her a list of email addresses if she wants to test the waters?<\/p>\n
I should also add that I\u2019m a little hurt that my four close college friends don\u2019t seem to be interested in getting together especially as I hear the plans for my fiance\u2019s party taking shape. However, I also understand that my friends already did it once and, as a second-time bride, maybe that ship has sailed. J Anyway, that\u2019s just emotion playing into it and I know the important part is having met and getting to marry this wonderful man, not an alcohol-fueled weekend of debauchery.<\/p>\n
