How to get out of throwing a bachelor party for someone you don't like.
[1:29 PM] Slatey: I'll put money towards Ed's ticket but I don't think I'm gonna come down for it. It sounds like you guys already have it planned anyway.
[1:29 PM] Dawn's Cell: Text message sent. Learn more
[1:54 PM] Dawn's Cell: Y not?
[1:54 PM] Dawn's Cell: Can u come if we change the date?
[3:33 PM] Slatey: It's a long drive to come down to see a baseball game I know I won't like and eat some rabbit food afterwards. And you know Ed and I aren't really close if at all - which is also why I was kinda like "wtfs mate" when he asked me to be the best man.
[3:34 PM] Slatey: And with such short notice, especially right after my Italy trip I'm going to be swamped catching up with work and whatever else.
[4:11 PM] Dawn's Cell: why dont ypu tell your mom u dont want to do it.
[5:07 PM] Slatey: I don't know what my mom has to do with any of this...?
[5:48 PM] Dawn's Cell: Your mom thought Ed should ask you.
[5:49 PM] Slatey: Ok well was Ed going to ask anyone else?
[5:49 PM] Dawn's Cell: Ed is gonna call you to settle this matter. It is between you. But this is our happiest day and we dont anyone ruining it.
[5:49 PM] Dawn's Cell: Yes.
[5:50 PM] Slatey: Well - if Ed had someone he would have rather asked - I would have been fine with that
[5:50 PM] Dawn's Cell: We know you wouldve been fine.
[5:52 PM] Slatey: I didn't turn down the role - I just said I don't think I'm coming to the baseball game. But if Ed has someone else in mind for best man that he's buddies with - I think that person should have been the best man. The best man is supposed to be someone that the groom is close with - so I was puzzled when I got asked because I don't think I suit that role.
[5:53 PM] Dawn's Cell: It isnt fair for Ed to miss out on a bachelor party because you dont have time or interest to plan one. when rog and chirag saw you werent doing anything it d
[5:53 PM] Dawn's Cell: with only a couple weekends availabe, they both stepped up to takr the reigs.edon'
[5:53 PM] Dawn's Cell: Reigns.
[5:53 PM] Dawn's Cell: We thought you would embrace the role not think of it as a burden.
[5:54 PM] Dawn's Cell: We were hoping it would have brought you closer. Best man has to organize bachelor party and make a speech.
[5:56 PM] Dawn's Cell: No one is trying to displace but just surprised they hadnt heard from you regarding the bachelor party esp since you are leaving for two weeks and we onll tho
[5:56 PM] Dawn's Cell: y have one or two weeknds available for the bachelor party.eighb
[6:02 PM] Slatey: you sent an e-mail out a week ago regarding a bachelor party and the date of the wedding. Aside from that - I really haven't heard anything about the wedding from you or Ed. It's super short notice and I've been busy with work and a 2 week trip out of the country - so I don't really know what you guys are expecting. Don't even have any information about tuxedos and the color of the tuxedo and style etc. I have no idea how long it takes to get that - but everything seems to be last minute here.
Dawn's Cell Oh hell no! Are you kidding me? The bride SHOULD NOT be planning your bachelor party. Second, we put together a remote wedding in two weekends after worko muc
(9:37:06 PM) Dawn's Cell ing 12 hour days. his m
(9:37:35 PM) Dawn's Cell Third, You have not even offered to help.
(9:38:20 PM) Dawn's Cell It's fine. I should have guessed.
(9:47:15 PM) Slatey when you asked me to be the best man you guys specifically said Chirag was getting baseball tickets for the bachelor party - so I didn't need to plan anything.......
(9:48:47 PM) Dawn's Cell Because there are only two free weekends left and no one heard from you. Clearly you arent the right guy. So forget it.
(9:50:01 PM) Slatey No - in February you said Chirag was getting tickets - after I asked Ed if he wanted a bachelor party
(9:50:42 PM) Dawn's Cell No we said baseball is what he wanted to do. Juat forget it all.
(9:51:12 PM) Dawn's Cell It was a wrong decision. You clearly are too busy. So we will remove the burden.
(9:51:58 PM) Dawn's Cell Go to italy knowing that you have no responsibilities for the wedding other than the tux.
(9:58:08 PM) Slatey When will you guys send me the information about the tux?
(10:00:31 PM) Dawn's Cell Go this weekend.
(10:00:41 PM) Dawn's Cell Chooses
(10:05:25 PM) Dawn's Cell You can go now and get fitted. Jos a banks has your name. The vest comes in one size and will just swap out the vest ed vhooses.
