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

So this is mostly just a vent. Not a rant because I'm not angry, just disappointed. I always knew I would have a high decline rate for the wedding.

So this is mostly just a vent. Not a rant because I'm not angry, just disappointed.

I always knew I would have a high decline rate for the wedding. Getting married in the US when I'm from the UK I knew a lot of my family wouldn't be able to travel - but the actual level of declines has completely bummed me out.

Quite a few people who I really thought might make the effort aren't going to make it - and even a few of FH's local family and friends who've declined (not many admittedly. Out of what is left of our guest list about 85% is his).

I have no excuse for being disappointed because we knew from the very start it would be hard for everyone to be there. Unfortunately, it was just a toss up as to whether it was his family or mine who would have to travel.

Just venting. I know at the end of the day I probably won't even care who made it and who didn't as long as I marry my FH. But there are a few people I will really miss!

    Nicola- i am sorry that there aren't as many people going as you would have liked. like others have said hopefully you can save some money at least?? and you will still be able to see the people that couldn't make it when you go over there after wards.

    @Joy- i really wish that wasn't your name because its not fitting for you at all. I am pretty sure that people could come up with things to attack your nationality as well. your just a bitch. (eta: you have all of your information as public so i know where you are from and could totally make general statements about your nationality if i really wanted to)

    Joy, Salty much? Wasn't yours the wedding with the caterer not feeding your guests? Just because stuff didn't work out for you at your wedding doesn't mean you should be bashing Nicola..

    Its no biggie that most people here don't know me.... I can't be bothered by ignorant/nasty comments about me. Y'all don't really know each other either; you're only connected by similar stories and experiences... And that doesn't make you "close"

    So quit the stupidity and shoot me for being honest

    Your not being honest, you are making blanket offensive statements

    eta: i am pretty sure that you are Nigerian right?? so i am going to say based on what you claim to be "honesty" that all Nigerians are scammers and steal identities/ credit card information.

    You're an idiot. You don't know Nicola and yet you managed to insult her nationality and her personally. You haven't said one "honest" thing on this post only spouted biased comments. You want to talk about karma? Look it up, because your getting a big dose of it on this post.

    I just got to thinking about all this, and remembered why I had decided to have a small wedding. I'd been to plenty of weddings that had a lot of people, and in the end the bride told me she would have rather had something small where there were just people she was very close to vs so many -

    it will be wonderful Smiley smile

    Cos I'm not shitty and creepy like some of you who keep every single detail about them private. I'm an open book. Y'all can look me up anywhere. I Also don't fret about stereotypes because there's an element of truth in it....

    Wow.. this is what I'm talking about when I say some people are just on here to be mean. We are all real people (hopefully not trolls) and we all have feelings. I'm sorry you had to read that Nicola. And I'm sorry that a lot of your family can not make it. I know that must be hard. Keep your head up!

    Fuck you Joy. How dare you say that Nicola deserves to have people decline on her because she is British? Just because you had a bad experience? Let me remind you that the world does not revolve around you, and you're no longer welcome here.

    Nicola- I'm sorry about the decline rate and for joys fucking ignorant asshatry...Smiley sad...and for what it's worth...I love the British Smiley smile

    What the fuck is wrong with this thread? JFC. British people are cool. Like most people.

    Apparently Americans (I'm assuming Joy is one) also have the potential to be exceptionally shitty human beings.

    So sorry Nicola. It sucks when people you were really hoping might be able to go (even tho you kinda knew they couldn't) can't make it. Anyone in this position would be sad/disappointed.

    Also ignore Joy, she's a twit and not worth a second thought. She obviously has nothing better to do than to be a B*tch.
