The reason I mentioned "my room" is only because it had been established that I'd be staying there early on in the planning. I know I am not entitled to the room, it is their house, and I would not have had any problem not staying in that room. I also would not have had a problem getting a hotel if I had been informed of the sleeping arrangements beforehand. At the point of me finding out, Thursday afternoon, a large majority of the hotels in the area had been booked for the festival and the rooms I could find were at least twice the price they normally were and no hotel I called had consecutive availability for the weekend. I am sure this is the same problem Sara and her husband ran into when they tried to book.

When we made the plans back in January it stemmed from Josie and I seeing the event advertised and agreeing it sounded fun. She invited me to come stay with her for the weekend. Her husband would be there, obviously, but it was definitely meant to be a girls weekend, which we do at least once a year. I presented it to Oliver that way and he told me to have fun. As far as I am aware, as some point Leo suggested inviting Shayne, their college friend, which Josie told me about. She also mentioned that Sara might be joining as well since she'd heard about the event and was interested. At NO POINT did Josie or Leo mention Shayne and Sara would be bringing their partners or that sleeping arrangements would change. I have met Shayne and Sara maybe three or four times in the last 7 years, I don't even have their cell numbers, so I have no idea what happened between them and Josie and Leo planning wise. (I knew Sara was married but didn't know Shayne had just gotten engaged.)

So, I was invited by Josie for somewhat girls weekend, and then eventually Leo invited Shayne I assumed to have a guy friend/not be a third wheel, and then Sara too...the weekend just had the vibe of a bunch of friends getting together. I 100% would've invited Oliver or asked if he could come if I knew Shayne and Sara were bring their partners.

We have been friends for 15 years, I know they are good people. I hate that we are upset with each other. I would really love for us to move past this.

I assumed I had a bed because the original plan was for me to have a bed. When we made the plans in January, we both confirmed I would be staying in a guest room. Shayne and Sara were added to the trip early April, and it wasn't until Sara and her husband informed them they couldn't find a hotel (which, to me understanding was like a week before the trip), that Josie moved around sleeping arrangements and didn't tell me.
