Rant Time - 31 days out

So we finally got the last rsvps back, and out of 72 people invited we had a whopping 33 rsvp no. I had a major nasty meltdown Monday - we booked a large ballroom and planned on a set number of tables, even paid the florist, and the only thing that makes sense is to take out at least one table. I'm so upset that we went through all of this effort to coordinate and most of my cousins rsvp'ed no.



I'm also upset because a lot of them would attend if it was a different cousin's wedding. One of them straight up said she was hosting a bachelorette the night before so couldn't come. Another - a catholic priest - is stuck preparing for Palm Sunday. But one of my aunts gave a ton of reasons like preparing for Palm Sunday - it's an early wedding, they could drive back that day if they had to - and didn't even bother to decline, instead telling me through my poor mother. I think it's completely unfair to ask this poor lady to be in charge of informing me her family sucks, but no one will tell me to my face.
So long rant. We reorganized tables coming to the realization that a lot of my family just suck, and hopefully it'll all come together. I know the important thing is me and fiance. I agree. I also can't help but feel upset because we could've picked a less expensive venue if i knew they were going to collectively flake.

I'm setting my seating chart on fire. Just ready to be married.
