People aren't coming to my wedding

Is there anyone else your grandmother could ride with? Or is there a way to get her there a few days early and spend the time with family and such?

I feel the exact same way as you. i always wanted a big wedding but, both me and my fh live in a different state then our families. so at the moment i dont even know who will be able to come we have such a small list of invites to send out and itll probably be way smaller too. I'm trying to also accept the fact that its going to be so small but it upsets me too a little so i know exactally how you feel

I'm going through the same thing, only my parents, brother, an aunt, uncle, and grandma are coming. A majority of my guests will be...coworkers. I'm sad about it, but my FH helped me realize that I spend most of my time at work and it's only natural to get close to my coworkers. Plus, I'm newish to the area and it's so hard to meet new friends! So yes, I feel your pain about the family thing, but at least your wedding won't turn out to be the equivalent of a company picnic!

Man I wish my family wouldn't come. I am sorry that everyone has fallen ill and will no longer to be there for you on your big day. Do you have any friends that you wanted to invite but wasn't going to be able to? From the sounds of it you will be able to invite them now.

Im so sorry things are going like this for you...i wish i could help.... dont let anything get in the way of your big day though girl...do what feels right and wha tyou think is best for your FH and you. If you want to elope its not too late! lol do what makes YOU happy cuz no matter what you do and how much you do what people tell you- it will always boil down to what makes YOU happy and nothing will ever be enough for anyone except for you and your FH...talk with him and do what feels right to you two both...after all-youre getting married because you both understand each other and can talk things out and decide together (in the end thats all that matter-and that you love each other!) good luck!

Are you having a video of the ceremony made? That would give you a way to share the day with those who could not attend in person. I was distraught that neither my mom or my dad could attend due to their health issues. But then I realized that they would be happy for me long-distance and didn't need to be there to prove it to me, you know? I struggled to give up my mental image of how my wedding _should_ be and accept how it would be, and be happy with those who could come. And then I decided to get a videographer, so I would still be able to share the day with my mom and dad, only after the fact instead of the day of. Then I felt much better!

I have the same feeling My fathers parents just arent coming they didnt really give a reason and I never expected them to come because they live in another state but my mom made me invite them. I really wish I would have eloped it would have been less headache and money
