wedding Disaster!

Wow that is my worst nightmare. I can’t even imagine that happening. I’m so sorry.

I am...speechless. Seriously. How could they do that to you!?

Ugh! So sorry this happened! There must have been something going on for that many people to no-show... is it possible they got the date wrong?!! Have you contacted anyone that didn’t show to see what happened? There must be some good things to remember about your day, like marrying your wonderful husband!

I am wondering too - were invites sent out via mail or was a it a Twitter, FB or email thing? That is a really low turnout. I am sorry about the DJ but sadly I am not surprised. Way too many people come here to complain about "friendors" as we call them. Did your mom prepare the food? My hunch is this: With a friend being a DJ, your mom cooking, your guests took it as a more casual vibe and sadly did not take it seriously. For that I am sorry!! But you are married to your groovin' man! Please try to concentrate on the positives.....it sounds like there were some of those!

I would be devastated. But, if we are going to look at the bright side- you are now married to your husband, your best friend. You now know who is respectful enough of your union to not include those who flaked so easily in future events. I hate that this happened to you. I am scared of this happening with us, but honestly, at the end of the day - as long as my FH is there, and our parents and some friends, I don't care. Everyone else, speaking from your situation - if they RSVP'd yes, and didn't show....they can go f themselves. I wish you all the best!!!!

I am so sorry this happened to you! I’d be devastated, that’s just really sad

I'm so sorry this Happened!! Just don't think about any of the Negatives. Always try to think about the Positives. You married the man of your dreams, and yall get to start a New Life together.

I'm following up from yesterday. Again, something else had to have happened. All these people cancelled their flights and hotels? were you able to see who booked rooms?

Oh my word! That is so devastating! I am so sorry you had to go through that. I can only imagine how heavy that must have made your heart! I hope that now that you’re married you can just put it all behind you and enjoy your married life together

View Quoted Comment Honestly I'm convinced they never had any intention on coming.
Out families ALWAYS do the cooking for the weddings. Its Like a tradition for us. As far as my friend being a Dj...no one,really would've known he,was my friend. I used to work,in entertainment. I know a lot of vendors. So no one would have thought that was strange.

We haven't spoken to anyone yet,just tried,to let the emotions summer down.

Like i said they literally asked us to have a wedding. We paid for wedding.
So its not,really an issue of don't take it serious...because the ONLY reason we had a wedding was because our families kept pushing for one.

I Literally had cousins decide that Thursdays they were going on a road trip.
A few people said they were sick.

It is what it is.

What did you cook for the meal?

So you were already married and this was a celebration of the original marriage? If you were already married, you had a wedding. It may have been small, but it was a wedding. This was a vow renewal, still important, yes, but it was a vow renewal/celebration of your first wedding.

My thoughts: People did not take it seriously as it was a vow renewal. Sorry to be blunt but that is the truth. Did you have/expect showers, a bunch of bridesmaids, perhaps an expectation of gifts? If so, that could have turned people off as well and they decided not to attend.

Again, I am sorry to be blunt but that sounds like the reality - if you were already legally married before this celebration this past weekend.

People deciding to go on a road trip is not cool but.....you were already married so they figured "What the heck? Let's road trip." Still not cool but that was their choice.
