Just saw this post. Up until now, I’ve kind of regretted not going to my 10-year reunion. I had some idealized version of the event in my head, and thought maybe I had missed out on something. I was living in Arkansas at the time and I don’t have family in Lake Jackson anymore, so I couldn’t justify the trip/expense/time off work. Thank god I didn’t go. By all accounts (well, four accounts) it was a huge disappointment. Thanks!

[...] Had my 10-year class reunion. My husband and a friend summed it up better than I could. In short, it was good to see some old friends, but overall it was LAME. [...]

Now just a minute. I’ve been busy and haven’t had the chance to comment until just now, but think I deserve a minor rebuttal. I did not say that Kristine looked weird without her husband, just that I know people would have wondered if I showed up without my spouse FROM THE SAME GRADUATING CLASS.

And for the record, I agree that the whole thing pretty much sucked. I could have planned it better in a week than they did in a year. And I’m with Kristine – where did our money go? I’d like to see receipts, please!

Guess I’m going to have to get myself on a planning committee for next time.

The only way I made it through was to mainline Bud Light. I was THAT GIRL that got really drunk at her reunion. In my defense, I expected that there would actual, you know…food. Food that would soak up beer. Not grocery store fruit trays and a bucket of fried shrimp.

All in all, it was an awful event. I could have organized that in about 2 days. They worked on that thing for 2 YEARS. Gah! Whatever.

I don’t think you looked weird. Like I said, The Wife’s logic was faulty. I’m glad you were there, otherwise I would have gone stir crazy.

I haven’t seen any numbers either, but I’m guessing most of the budget was blown on those fancy name tags and the meaningless shiny blue wristbands. I can’t imagine that the DVD will sell all that well, seeing as how the vast majority of the class didn’t even bother to show up.

Hey, did I “look weird” without my husband?

My mom claims it took their class 40 years to get it right. Here’s to 2 more sucky reunions before the good one.

I have not looked at the message board, but I would like to see a ledger. Where the hell did our money go? Is anyone asking that? Who thought a DVD of the evening would be good? Who wants that? Who would watch it? I’m not saying I’m willing to plan the next one, but dammit, I’m mad that I paid that much money for that kind of a crappy evening. And she started planning 2 years ago. 2 FREAKING years of planning and THAT’S what we got? Next time I’m going to suggest they hire a wedding planner – I mean, replace the nuptuals with some kind of awards and use the cost of flowers for the awards. Poof – much better reunion – and it can be done for roughly the same price per head.
