    The Parental Contribution Vent!

    in Just venting or funnies

    Posted

    I'm actually a bit shocked at the rant, and at your surprise. I agree with everyone else. While its a vacation for everyone including your parents, the cost of their flights is substantial and it should be factored into the cost of the wedding. I hope that you will come to see how your parents must be feeling as well. I will also add, that even for us we told our guests they did not have to give us gifts because it was such a huge expense for them to come. Some still chose to give something, but it was not expected.

    Thanks Nat, I already cancelled that booking. We're going for a late dinner at Chambar and then I have a few contacts in the club business there, so we might either go somewhere in Yaletown or this other place that my friend owns.

     

    I did respond to his email and told him that he was quite presumptuous to think that (a)I'm not successful on my own and (b)I'm looking for a man.

     

    Marak, I 100% DISAGREE with your comments. Seeing as how this is his business he is jeopardizing his own company by making those comments. Furthermore, a "womens moguls olympic party" is not QUITE THE SOIREE, and I very much doubt there will be celebs...either way, I'm not exactly in awe of celebs and have zero desire to integrate myself into a shallow materialistic crowd. I don't need other people to "take care of me" or my friends, and show us a good time. If I wished to act like a bimbo I probably would never have gotten married, and Mr. Stowe's comments would not have offended me.

    I am beyond upset right now so I definitely need to vent. I have been planning a party in Vancouver for a friend's bachelorette which just happens to fall within the Olympic Madness timeframe. I was originally awarded a time and reservation at an upscale lounge, but was then told that my reservation was no longer accepted and that if I should wish to attend still I would have to pay double the price. As insulting and appalling this was, the real story came after I received an email from Craig Stowe (founder and co-partner of Jet Set Crew - the company responsible for hosting the Olympic party which nullified my original reservation). Craig Wrote me the following response (please heed special attention to the last paragraph)

    HI Ana-Maria

     

    I guess Benji didn't know the Olympics were coming to Vancouver , when he took the booking , sorry for any problem this may have cause your group.

     

    As you suspected JetSet is hosting an Olympic party at Canvas on the 13th , may I suggest you book the weekend before if you would like to experience a regular sat night at Canvas.

     

    Or book contact Simon and book into a real Olympic party with hot available successful men.

     

     

    Best Regards

    Not only was this a disgusting and unprofessional email to receive from a person of his status but how presumptous that all women interested in attending a party would only wish to do so at the prospect of meeting "rich" men! In today's time I believe this to be a sexist and demeaning remark and one that shows exactly how much the "Olympics" have gone to everyone's head.

     

    I don't even know really what to do with this. I sent the email to a few news stations and radio stations, maybe someone will pick up on it. I just can't believe that a professional would ever write this!!

    I'm so sorry that you're going through this...its brutal! I agree with everyone else, if he really wanted to make this work and he had nothing to hide he would give you what you needed to make you feel content and move on. YOU should be his #1 priority and if you're not then you need to be honest with yourself. Like Nadine said, follow your head and not your heart on this one. The fact that he blaitantly disrespected you is disgusting and not ok. He should be thinking of you and only you, ALWAYS!

    You don't pay for the dinner itself, you're paying for the set up fee. If you are not eating at one of the restaurants then the staff needs to set up a special area for your guests, they also have to allocate servers, bartender etc... especially for you. Hence the $29pp fee, which I think is super reasonable compared to other resorts that charge a set up fee as well as a meal fee and drink fee etc... You will have to pay the pp fee when you organize your private wedding dinner as well. It really does take alot of extra work to set up a special seating area, as well as expense it might take to add extra staff for the night.
