Miss Understood

Continued from Viva Las Roxy... Part 2

I guess I got the business aspect of Vegas all set in my last email, now it's on to the real juice. Particular things that happened, and my feelings regarding the events.

Friday was essentially a wash. I chose not to be mad at RedSox for all the flight issues, and I agreed with him when he took the blame. Done and Done.

Saturday I was a little upset that the brunch wasn't just the girlz, because I was excited to finally catch up and have one last singlefest without the male folk. As with any vacation or wedding, nothing is going to go according to plan. Brunch was still fantastic because I chose to be thankful I could come to Vegas and spend time with everyone and anyone. I felt really bad that RedSox missed out on brunch, but everything was so last minute it really couldn't be helped.

Going shopping for RedSox's cufflinks had pros and cons. Pros, I could avoid the sun and go shopping. Con, I missed girl time and RedSox didn't need the cufflinks afterall.

Girlz went to the chapel separately, and when I got there RedSox pulled me aside to talk. While discussing potential plans for Saturday evening with the guys, RedSox informed them that he got all the guys on the VIP list for the Playboy Club and I got all the girls on the list in case people wanted to go there. There was a brief moment of silence and finally one of the guys spoke up. Apparently the option of going to the Playboy Club Saturday night was a source of "contention" amongst the group, and people felt I was being too pushy.

This news shocked the hell out of me. I don't recall being pushy. I only sent 3 emails about the weekend. One saying I'd love to dance if people are interested. Another saying I put us all on the VIP list just in case. The third email was a forward from a friend who frequents Vegas, telling us what she loves to do there. I tried to understand that my enthusiasm over email might be misperceived but when I re-read the emails, I only got enthusiasm outta the first one.

I had no interest in defending myself. I knew I was right, but I don't know how other people read my emails. I pulled the bride aside and apologized, but she said she didn't think I was pushy at all. I chose to believe her and move on with no worries.

RedSox brought it up later though, "so what do you think really happened?" And I told him I think weddings can be a stressful time, and if people wanna be upset about something, it's easy to pick on undesirable options. That's the story I wanna believe, and I'm sticking to it.
