Hello everyone! I need advice.
So my fiance and I have a super small wedding party. My sister is my moh, his sister is my bridesmaid. On his side is his lifelong best friends. One of them is an Olympic water polo player. He was able to make it home right after the Olympics ended to go to the bachelor party but a week later was flying out to Serbia where he plays water polo professionally. He just found out today that his biggest game of the year is going to take place on our wedding day so he won't be able to make it.
My fiance is bummed but he understands.
The thing we are trying to figure out now is the head table.
We have our seating chart done and all our seats are full, except for at his family's table. My fiance has a VERY small family. The only family my fiance has that is able to make it to the wedding are his parents, his cousin Sean and Sean's wife, and his sister's husband. That is it. Last month his 87-year-old grandparents told my fiance they won't be going to the wedding because it is just too much for them and they're getting too old. He has no relationship with his dad's side of the family at all and did not want to invite them.
The wedding party was all going to sit together at the head table but now I am worried it might look weird being uneven. I don't know if I should ask if his sister would mind sitting at the table with her husband and the rest of the family? Should I leave the seating arrangements as they are and just have the extra girl on my side? Should I leave an empty seat at the head table?
I am just not really sure how to handle this situation.
Thank you!
