Yeah, I've heard you're "plus sized". Can you squeeze that huge ass of yours into one seat or do I have to pay for two?

I have the solution!!!!!!!!
Ok, if Mrs. Powers emails and says we are paying for your room they will likely say so. Well, I don't know about likely, but they will/may feel bad and decline going at all. Then Mrs. Powers wont get to see her old friend. Simply say yes you can stay with us, and then book a hotel suite with two bedrooms/two bathrooms. Or if not available get two adjoining rooms. When they get there tell them you couldn't turn down the deal on the seperate sleeping arrangements. They don't need to know that there was no deal and that the only deal was you wanted your own bedroom. If they offer to pay something let them pay half of the original $350 and insist you pay the balance since you made the executive decision of upgrading withour consulting them. You get your own room, Mrs. P sees her friend and the friends are not made to feel like poor freeloaders. |

Yeah. And complicated.
We're going to decline their invitation and offer to pay for their room. |

The good thing is since these are not friends of yours it is almost like you are spending money on your wife at the same time. She should love you more (or
some) so it is like paying your wife to love you. So you double the return on your investment.

I snore and it is embarrassing so I try to avoid sharing rooms. Unless it is an emergency, only family members and pets get to sleep in a room with Foo and me.
You know what I used to love? Babysitting my nieces overnight and waking up to find they had snuck into bed with us. :love They have grown out of that phase and that makes me sad. |

It's very rude to offer to pay for their room. Would the wif even even go for that? Surely she has more sense.

Your wife roomed with her in college, you all are staying for one night, I don't see a problem in sharing.
I'm in the minority here, aren't I? |

WTF, tell Mrs. Power to reply back saying that Mr. Powers refused because he doesn't like company. This way Mrs. Powers doesn't come off as an asshole,
and you will be the only one to blame, which you shouldn't care about anyway, unless you are a spinless hermit crab as well

Tell Powers that it isn't your problem and you're to sleep.

If these people are your age, how can they not afford a $350/night room?
At this point I must stop myself. Not everyone follows the APG Rules to Personal Finance. America as a society has more debt than assets. Mrs. P's friends are part of the problem. My suggestion is to pick the suggestion from this thread that will cause the most humiliation to your wife's friend. |

SUMMARY:
We offered to pay for their room, and they declined and said they'd pay for it themselves. Fine. We made plans with some friends of ours who live in the city for Sunday brunch at Bryant Park Grill (Manhattanites, is this worth going to?) and invited them. I called the hotel and drew upon my contacts and got a nice upgrade for both of our rooms to the concierge level and got an amenity sent up for each room. Got a call from Mrs. P the other day who said that they had shopped around and found a cheaper room at the Roosevelt Hotel. They wanted to cancel their reservation at the hotel, and when Mrs. P told them how much brunch would likely be they predictably bailed on that too. I think I'll offer to buy them drinks all night and slip them $50 for gas money or something at the wedding. |
