LMFAO!

Bud Light is horrible.

This. I could care less about the politics, Bud Light is about two steps above elephant p!ss. Life's too short to drink sh!tty booze, OP - your husband is kind of embarrassing, and the spectacle was classless - as another PP said, he *wanted* to make a big deal about it. Jackass.

1) Your DH and childhood friend are hysterical. They did it to thumb their nose at the fru-fru gathering bc they know that
2) The hostess has a pole up her ass and would lose her sh**
3) The host(old childhood friend) doesn’t give a F**k (I notice you don’t mention him at all) because before the money, they played in ballparks and climbed fences together
4)You need to take the pole out of your own ass, this is about childhood buddies and antics, it’s not about you. You’ll still be invited next year don’t worry your pretty head OP.

This guy has it right. Especially #2 and 3.

Also... Stella? Gross.

Gotta learn to troll better, OP.

hostess needs to lighten up

So when the host directly asked them to put the cooler away, they just dismissed her? At her party in her own home? That’s certainly a big f*** you to the host.

Your DH knew this wasn’t some backyard cookout. And, rather than acknowledging his mistake when she reacted badly, he just decided to be offensive and do whatever he wanted. That’s the biggest problem here. Once she reacted badly, he could have acted graciously even if he found her behaviour over the top. I would be so embarrassed.

The hostess is way more out of line than your husband, OP.

I say this as a super uptight, upper middle class sort of person, who would never want to see a beer at such an event.

The role of the host is to make guests feel welcome. If there is a guest who breaks a social rule and brings unwanted food or drink for his own consumption, it's the host's duty to make reasonable accommodations. Yes, the beer added a vulgar note to an otherwise elegant event. But the accommodation was easy to make, and the host should have smiled and thought of it as an "eccentricity" on the part of one of the guests.

Because the upper classes are never crass peasants with low tastes. They're just eccentric

The fact that the hostess became upset and is now hounding you is beyond the pale, and shows how insecure she is about her social position. No REAL upper class person, or gracious host, would let this bother them.

The correct course of action is to reply by mail on your monogrammed cardstock, expressing your regret that she is upset. It's not an apology. It's an empathetic acknowledgement of her fragility.

The wife definitely showed that she's new money.

But your DH was in the wrong. Sounds like he wanted to pull some college guy prank.

If I am spending 50K on a fancy, formal party and a guy shows up with a chip on his shoulder, making a big public statemnt by bringing his own cooler of beer, I'd have a problem. Your husband needs to learn how to behave better in public. he wasn't at a backyard BBQ or Nascar. It was a bad look and I'd be super embarrassed.

Please. I've seen neighbors call other neighbors "low life trash" for leaving their trash cans out an extra night. I can absolutely see some rich white Karen thinking Bud Light was going to ruin 'her' party. And you just know she thought it was her party.

OMG does he sound like a jerk.

That is like going to a dinner party but bringing/putting out your own food because you prefer it.

He thought he was cool and funny. But he is immature and classless.

You could tell her that you are sorry about his behavior. But that is not the same as the person who was wrong admitting it.

Don’t worry, it won’t happen again because you will never be invited back. Your husband is just a dumb frat boy and the hostess a tight ass.

Your husband was rude, but so was the hostess. If the hostess saw a guest bringing a different beverage and drinking it from a cooler they should have apologized for not offering a wider selection of beer and immediately offered to keep it behind the bar with the bartender for them. And if your husband insisted on drinking from the cooler in the backyard she should have laughed politely and thanked him for bringing his festive spirit and having fun. Because that’s what a gracious hostess does- makes her guests feel like they are very welcome, and doing everything correct.

But your husband is an ass.

Very childish mentality. If a party is not to your liking, send your regrets. Don't go with the intention of "thumb[ing your] nose" at your hosts.

Agree. It is never funny to intentionally try to upset someone especially if that someone is hosting you for a party!!! Like, come on. Grow up. That being said, hostess should have been gracious.

Your DH sounds like a frat boy loser. He clearly wanted to make a statement, there is no other reason to bring a 70L cooler full of beer to someone elses fancy party.

Leave him and the cooler at home next year, you can enjoy without him making a scene.
