Feeling Unloved By my Friends

So sorry to hear this, Cathy! I want to validate your feelings here—you are totally allowed to feel bummed that your friends can’t make it. I’m really sorry that they can’t! I’m sure you will still have an amazing wedding day with the love of your life and other friends and family though!!

I totally understand! I had one friend and her bf come out of the 14 I invited (that 14 included SOs). H had an entire table full of friends. Ir kind of hurt but I get it. Everybody had to travel for our wedding.

I would be pretty upset too, I've already had one friend tell me not to waist any money sending her stuff because she doesn't want to go for various personal reasons (likes crowds and her anxiety). It hurt a lot and I still hate it (months later) but it's their choice. I just say that if they want to be there then they will make it work. I find weddings to be a huge thing and if someone decides not to make the unselfish decision to make it then fine, you'll have the most important people there with you (I feel a little different then most people on this and I don't mind it. Yes it's their choice but you would think they'd care more). Just try not to let it affect you and keep a look at the possitives!

It would bother me too. My friends are pretty much my family because most of my family has passed away. I'm sorry they can't come. I would feel the same way

I had no friends at all at my first wedding. It was too far for them to travel so no one came. I wound up inviting a bunch of co-workers just so I’d have someone there other than my family. It’s disappointing. I feel ya. No real advice. Just support!

That would hurt me too. It's not wrong to feel unloved in this case, especially when closest friends are unable to attend. Try not to dwell too much on this though! You're going to have a beautiful wedding regardless

I think it's normal. We feel like we want our friends to be supportive on an important day of our lives.
