A very dear friend's son is getting married in November. There is nobody on her side willing to throw a bridal shower. I offered to give the couple a nice shower at a restaurant. The groom's sister has MS and lives out of state. She has just been diagnosed and is still in the military, meaning she can't come and go as she pleases. She is going to be home in one month, the second week in July. The groom's Mom asked me if I could put something together that quickly so that the groom's sister could attend. I said yes. To everybody's shock, the groom and his bride to be refused the shower. First they said having it at a restaurant was too "formal" (I explained it was a decent restaurant but not a five star type of place, rather casual actually). They were rude, had an attitude. They said they wanted my friend (the grooms Mom) to have a "potluck" for all of their friends (both sexes) at her house for their shower (they like to party). They just got really bossy and , well I'm highly insulted. I actually called the groom and told him the mother of the groom does not throw potlucks for a shower. I said people bring gifts and someone provides the meal, not ususally the groom's Mom. I also told him the only appopriate response when someone offers to give a shower is "thank you." Anyway, they still have refused, they said maybe in a couple of months, closer to the wedding they might want something. At this point I told them if they wanted a potluck I would bring some cheesy potatoes and he said they did not want a pot luck. They said they were not registered anywhere yet and couldn't possibly get registered by the end of the week. But if we do it later then the groom's sister cannot attend. I'm pissed and the groom's Mom has alluded to the fact that maybe I can help with something in a couple of months. Should I bite the bullet and give these two little snots a shower in a couple of months? I know I'm really ticked off right now so I'm looking for an outside perspective on this situation.
