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!
