Over 60percent decline rate...*sigh* and apparently some people have to be a**holes... about it

Karma? Huh... um okay...

Anyways... it's okay to be sad or disappointed, but realize things will be okay

WTF Joy?

Joy, treat others as they treat you. No wonder you were treated the way you were. You are a real peach. Sorry, not sorry.

Nicola, it sucks none of them can make it.

Nicola, I'm sorry you're getting so many declines! No advice here, but you can feel free to vent away.

At the end of the day, you'll be married and it will be wonderful, I promise.

We had a bunch of no shows and I didn't really notice until much later. You'll make the most of the guests who come and have a great time

@nicola, [lease ignore JoyBekee, she's a raving nut log. I'd be really super offended for you but I'm actually in shock she was able to string coherent sentences together. She usually makes absolutely no sense. Actually she still doesn't, as once again she's posted comments out of her ass. She really needs to do everyone on WW a favor and just keep her mouth shut.

Thanks ladies - for the support about Joy and the general support.

I keep telling myself that I have 10 incredibly special people making it - and that is more than I should even have hoped for with the cost of flights.

Like my 92 year old Nana who is flying 8 hours (and she's never flown more than 4) to be there - and is paying for herself, my Aunt and my cousin (admittedly so they can help her with the trip but still). And my best friend who has an incredibly busy, tough job who is taking the time off to come. And so on.

I keep repeating all that to myself in the hopes it makes me feel better.

I do feel selfish/whiny for being sad when so many ARE making a huge effort. And FH's family are so welcoming and loving.

Nicola, go Nana! See, you'll have those you love nearby!

Wow. Way to make sweeping stereotypes about an entire county. Maybe you didn't have a good time, because you're a jerk, Joy.

I'm sorry about your decline rate Nicola. I'm sure you will have a wonderful time anyway with the people that can make it!

As for the Joy thing - to be honest it was just considering I'm already feeling pretty low it was a really nasty thing to see on a thread that was about me being sad. If that makes sense. Normally I'd brush it off a little more.

Joy is a donkey bonnet.

It is typical of British! Hey, what goes around comes around.

Call me whatever name you chose. I don't care cos I'm %100 about this... Y'all don't know British.

ETA: Go figure

Donkey bonnet...love it.

Joy is legitimately like a bot that spits out catchphrases.

Hey Joy

Nicola, I just want to send a big virtual batch of good vibes and hugs your way. I've seen FH be very stoic about the same thing, and its still tough.

It's not selfish to want the people you love around you to share in your joy, and be a little disappointed they won't be.

I think all JoyBekee's are inconsiderate twatwaffles and I don't give a zero cus you know karma's a bitch.

That's how effin' stupid you sound.

It's tough when travel is involved. We had a lot that couldn't come to ours. And on the flip side we have just had to decline for a good friends wedding when they made the effort to fly to ours. Its bums but unfortunately travel ain't cheap Hope your wedding is all you dreamed of despite this!

Seriously though - why the f*** are you 'attacking' me @Joy? I've had zero dealings with you on this site before now - I don't think we've even posted in the same thread before. I just don't understand why you would come on a thread like this of all places and start spouting this crap.

Nicola, if it helps I am obsessed with British culture and had a lovely time when I visited your country as a child. Everyone was pleasant.

Joy, if everyone is mean to you. There is one common denominator in this equation, you.

All the good posts from you lovely ladies make up for the one wanker though. So thanks.

FH keeps gently reminding me that the most important thing is that we're getting married. And he's completely right of course.

And we are having it videoed so we can show it to those who want to see when I am next home.
