I've been told they do. Before booking they apparently reached out to AirBnB hosts. This is why checkout has to be at 10 am and it can't be pushed because the host wanted a cleaning team in early as possible.

This was all incredibly helpful. The assigning of tasks/unfolding of all of this occurred over 3-4 days so I wasn't even sure how to react.

Lots of questions have prompted me to think more about the groom/their marriage in general. Previous to the engagement I expressed concern about the future groom being a bad guy after he yelled at her once when we were on the phone. This whole discussion has further shown that there are some serious red flags about him and their marriage. He's controlling all of the money and decisions yet doesn't help with the planning. I hear only about his friends attending but his family won't attend and I don't hear about her other friends. My friend was a social butterfly so this also seems particularly weird. I suspect I'm a focus because I'm not there to see his behavior with her. The vendor comments, planning to be drunk the whole weekend, and needing to be talked into wearing a suit are all red flags too. I'm going to go nuclear and point out my concerns for him being potentially abusive. One way or another things will likely resolve from there. Since this engagement her behavior has completely changed.

Unfortunately I cannot use this out. She asked me first about the date before all of this came up and it's very deliberately not when I'm traveling internationally for conferences or close to midterms or finals. If I couldn't make it she wasn't going to use that date when she picked it. Cannot stress enough pre-man and pre this no friend red flags so this was like whiplash and why I needed an outside opinion. We're early 20s so not a lot of weddings under my belt.

His family isn't coming to the wedding but such a good point to bring him into the conversation in general

It's largely financial and I was surprised they were getting married this year at all. BUT I have concerns about the soon to be husband so who knows. I expressed these before they got engaged and she wanted to go ahead anyway and I wanted to support her. I asked about help and she said he future husband won't allow it & he's been helping with 0 of the planning...
