Who could say no to a girls’ trip?? Especially when you get to celebrate your bestie’s birthday! You’ve got the most gorgeous Airbnb, planned the most exciting dinner, and get to gossip with your girls around a fire pit all night long! You’ve all saved up so you can pitch in and enjoy yourselves, and have even bought your bestie the most thoughtful gift! Sounds like the perfect escape, and somehow you’ve managed to keep your bank balance from crashing…

That is, until the birthday girl surprised you with her engagement announcement to her long-time boyfriend! You couldn’t be happier for her, until she and her fiancé inform you that they thought it would be a great idea to turn the trip into a joint engagement celebration instead. The big surprise? Informing her soon-to-be bridesmaids that they should be covering her cost of the entire trip as the ultimate engagement gift…Wait, let’s backpedal. You all planned this trip together and split the costs evenly, and now she is insisting you all pay for her? You could afford the trip when planning for yourself, but a whole other person is not within your budget! Is it fair that these blind-sided besties should be burdened with the costs without having been informed beforehand?
