Nobody came to my wedding.

I'm really sorry this happened!

But those people who didn't show - forget them. You said yourself, you had just as much fun with 30 people, you didn't miss the others at the time. You're married, had a great time at your wedding. Remember that.

Hi Abigail. I'm so sorry to hear that as many people as you were expecting didn't show. However, as you have indicated, you still had a wonderful time. You're still married to the person you love and you didn't even notice their absence. Now you know people's true colors and how they really feel. You can come out on the other side stronger for knowing that.

I'm sorry you had so many people not show up, but it's wonderful that you still had such a great time! Focus on how much fun you had and how you are married!!

I wish I knew. I tried to follow etiquette rules, we had children at our wedding, including my daughter. Many many people confirmed with me, but today I'm back at work and everyone has so many excuses. It's so hard not to be mad at them and take it personally.

I'm really sorry that happened to you. I hope after some well deserved sulking/pouting you're able to focus on the positive and only have happy memories.

I'm so glad you didn't let it impact your happiness on the day. That is a great attitude to have. Some people really don't get that no showing is a big deal, and that it has such a big financial cost. Did you send out invites super early and ask for an early RSVP date? Just trying to think of reasons you would have such a high no show rate, other then your guests being jerks.

What other issues could it be?

Were some of the excuses the same?

what time was the wedding set for?

How far did people have to drive (my fear)?

Do you see these people normally outside of work?

I'm sorry your family and friends bailed on you. Of course it will hurt my feelings if that happened to me, but I would just move on from it because you said it yourself, you had fun and at the end of the day you got married to your husband.

I'm very sorry to hear that Abigail. I'm a police officer also and I find that the "2nd family" mantra doesn't mean as much when your a female unfortunately. There was a male officer that had a wedding before mine and he invited the whole department. 20 people from the department went. I also invited the whole department and about 4 people responded that they wanted to come. I guess its better than them responding and then bailing but it did hurt my feelings. Things are different for women in law enforcement unfortunately. But I've got your 6. And at the end of the day, your married! And your hubby has your 6! That's truly what matters!

We hosted our wedding in the county that we are both law enforcement and firefighters. It was a local small town venue. People were coming to him and I finializing details, asking what to wear and could they bring their children. Several people have said they were sick, and many people said that they were out of town-even after sending an attending RSVP.

This sucks, but at the end of the day you married the man you love, had a fabulous day and were surrounded by those who love you. It's everyone else's loss and now at least you have delicious leftovers, right?

I'm so sorry that happened to you! I know it hurts, but you are married to the man you love and you deserve all the happiness in the world! Try not to let them bring you down! Congratulations on your marriage!

Aww I'm sorry this happened. I would be upset as well. I'm glad you didn't let this ruin your day and I'm glad that regardless of how many people showed up you had a good time.

" It's so hard not to be mad at them and take it personally." Honestly, you should be made and take it personally. It's ok. If you feel someone is genuine or that you can forgive them, do so, but honestly you should be upset.

I am glad you didn't let it ruin your day, I would feel the same as you are now if this happened to me.

People sure can be twatbuckets. It's similar to inviting 15 kids to a birthday party and having 3 show. It hurts. I am sure that a few of them had legitimate reasons, things do come up, people get sick. Others probably didn't.

I'm so sorry they bailed. Let yourself be pissed for a while.

I'm really sorry that this happened. Try to focus on all the good things that happened that day. If all else fails drown your sorrows in leftover cake and alcohol.

I TOTALLY agree with FutureMrsB. It's OK to be hurt and mad. I would be. I'm sorry this happened.

Good for you for not letting it ruin your day.

Hugs.

That sucks. But, focus on the awesome people that DID come. Those are your friends and be happy they are such good ones. I'm glad you had a great time!

We had 15 no shows, plus we still never received rsvps back from over 40% of guests. 2 people showed up uninvited. I was pissed about it, but whatever, now I know what people to work my ass off trying to make their events for and which people to say, "meh, I have plans" every once in a while.

Have your pity party then move on. Don't give them more than a "this fucking sucks!" because they don't deserve more than that.

Anyone near Chester, SC is welcome to come and get all the BBQ, mac and cheese and beer and wine they can handle. Headed to Mexico on Friday

I would be hurt. When was your RSVP date?
