Everyone is cancelling on me

It's disappointing when things don't go the way you had envisioned them.

Try and remember that nothing is wasted, because at the end of the day you will be married to your best friend, and that is the point of the whole thing, right?

You can't control the weather but it will be a beautiful day because you and your FH will be there and ultimately, that's all that matters. See if you can find some clear umbrellas. Amazon has them and if you have Prime you can try one day shipping. Do you have a Plan B for the rain?

Okay, this is just nuts! How do people cancel 2 days before a wedding?!

The mom of the flower girls just realized she can't make it due to financial reasons... literally three days before the wedding? Why didn't see bring up her concerns earlier? I'm sorry, I would be beyond pissed.

Why is your younger sister cancelling?

I'm really sorry. There isn't much I can say that'll help but remember that this is about becoming one with your spouse and those that can make it, will be present. I'm sorry to hear, again.

I am so sorry, the mom of the flower girl cancelling this close it crazy! I agree with Pegs that she had more than enough time to let you know financially she couldn't make it and I would be soooo irate!

I think that you should let the stuff go that you can, and focus on you , FH, and the people who are able to make it. Think about it, even if no one showed up, you still get to marry your best friend and soul mate and that is really what it's all about. Enjoy the people who are making the effort to be there.

I am sorry your mom is not feeling well whats up with your sister??

Breathe.

The forecast for my wedding (mind you, at the beach and a DW) was for rain for about 5 days. The day of was cloudy but it held up, we had a beautiful outdoor ceremony and then right after dinner (in a garden area, outdoors) it poured!

This is something you cannot control. I am sorry that I can't tell you it will be better, but think that there is a chance it will - remember, the forecast is usually a mess or inaccurate these days anyway. I agree with PP - order clear umbrellas from amazon, they ship fast, will protect guests & is a beautiful prop for pictures.

Make sure you have a plan B - and check your contract about the horse/carriage, if you need to cancel for reasons you have no control you should get reimbursed.

The flower girl: what a peach! She realized today? What financial reasons are those? Are you requesting that she pays for something last minute? is she OOT guest? Maybe offer to help with whatever she needs (if you have the means to it) if her presence is important, but don't push her. If you don't have a flower girl is fine, not everyone does. It will be beautiful either way.

The sister: why? This is sure hurtful, but it is not unheard of, we see it happening here quite often, but I believe most times people work things out. If she doesn't show it's on her. All you can do is to invite people, their response to it is not always as pretty was we wish.

Your mother: I am truly sorry to hear that, I hope she gets better enough to be there for you.

Changing the wedding date: this is inappropriate & ridiculous. For real? You would cancel vendors, change contracts, and probably loose a lot of money. You provided guests with information, if they could not make it too bad, you go on and get married; that is your main goal. Regardless of how things work out, at the end of the day, you will get married to your FH and that is what should matter the most.

Good luck!

It's disappointing to hear that your sister won't be there. I know of managers that will grant reasonable excuses to miss work and I feel as though my sister's wedding is a pretty reasonable one lol

I'm just so confused by the flower girl situation. What expenses did she incur that caused her not to be able to attend... with a three day notice, no less! Was there travel involved?

Regardless, everything will be okay. I wish you the best.

By the way, I hope you're mom is okay. That can't be easy to handle either.

Have a plan B and move the wedding indoors if it rains. Call or text guests that day to let them know of the change. Don't buy umbrellas and expect guests to sit outside in the rain. That's ridiculous and will lead to even more guests not attending.

I'm sorry everything is crashing down on you right now... Attendance is obviously out of your control, but do you have an indoor alternative for the rain? I know you mentioned that you will be under a gazebo... will this keep your guests dry? If so, try not to stress too much about it! Rain on your wedding day is actually supposed to be good luck.

You must be on the east coast. you need an indoor plan quickly (1) and (2) all of these cancellations could be a blessing in disguise. LOOK, you are marrying the love of your life, stay positive and look at the end goal-you've worked too hard

I'm so sorry that's happening so close to your wedding day. Is the flower girl and her mom traveling far to get there? That's so upsetting she waited until TWO days before to tell you when the flower girl is a huge party of the wedding party for some people. Don't change the date, especially since it's two days away. Maybe do another small-ish party down the road when everyone can make it?
