Went to a wedding lastnight and I almost cried for the bride

I kinda feel bad for her, but on the other hand, this is a result of bad planning. It's kind of her own fault.

I had a similar wedding that FH and I went to on the 10th of this month. Not as big of a bridal party, but the ceremony started 1hr and thirty minutes late and it was high noon on a Mountain top with nooo shade. ugh. Then the reception was in a small restaurant with no music or party. The only good part were the mimosas, but we found out later that they were non-alcoholic. lol

ughh that is why I am stressing over every detail and making sure everyone will enjoy themselves.

OMG. That is horrible. And yes it is bad planning. I am sure her wedding will be talked about for years to come... and not in the good way.

OMG, I feel really bad for her too... wow, I probably would've cried too. I did at my friend's wedding last year after a bunch of uninvited guests showed up and they had to bring in tables from the back to the reception room with no table cloths on them, I cried and cried, luckly she was a very calm bride and she was smiling the whole time.

I feel really bad for this bride.

Yikes!! :-( that is rough.

That's terrible!

That whole wanting to make an entrance that is just crazy...people do not want to be sitting and waiting a long time. Your guest will tend to get restless and leave. she should have thought about having her wedding either at a someone house or at another venue since her guests were drinking....i feel bad for her because her day was ruin because it was not planned properly.

I think I would be more upset with the bride then for the bride. That is a result of poor planning. She should have never let her guest wait for over an hour for the ceremony to start. When it comes to the reception, it starts when your guests arrive. So music and food should have been flowing. And how do you run out of food if they are given a head count? I feel bad that her wedding is probably going to be talked about but she should have planned it alot better.

I think its ridiculous, same thing happened at my cousin's wedding.... start time 4:30 started at 5:40, she did have cocktail hour and photobooth to spare time... Food just didnt look good, and reception went well. Starting late is just tacky to me, unless there are really issues.... not intended issues.

I'm with Brandie on this one. That was really poor planning on her part, overdone in areas where she could've trimmed and not done enough in the necessary areas. I mean, it sounds like an over the top ceremony with nothing to back it up.

I would be annoyed at her. She obviously didn't put much thought into her guests while planning. I feel badly in that she has to deal with the repercussions.

The wedding is about the bride and groom that day BUT it's also about the family and friends who have come together to celebrate with them. Therefore they needed to be taken into consideration which is sounds like they weren't.

Psssh, I don't feel bad for her one bit. EXTREMELY poor planning and quite selfish on her part. Being over an hour late to her own damn wedding so she can make an "entrance"?!!?!??! Running out of food?!?!?! HOW??!?!?!?! I tell you what, if for some reason I was to run out of food, you better believe I would be scrambling to get the remaining guests something to eat. Pffft, I wouldn't feel bad for her at all if I were you.

The parents did end up going to get food from Luby's .That's when I noticed all the guest leaving, it took them about 45 minutes to get back . But she did make sure her dress was top of the line(Pricalla of Boston).After she walked up to FH and I bragging about her dress and etc. My FH said " She look like a damn fool , that's not cute boo". He didn't feel bad for her at all, he called her ghetto FAB ! I had to tell him to hush several times,he is too honest.

She even had the nerves to say " Ya'll are getting married next year right? Don't take any of my plans and make it yours." I quickly said " Don't worry boo boo ,our taste is nothing alike.

That sounds awful!! Yikes.

That is poor planning. I can understand why the guests left. Wow.

@FutureMrsHodges that's when you punch a bitch.

I also don't feel sorry for the bride. I feel sorry for you for having to attend this wedding.

The ceremony is about the bride and groom. The reception is for the guests, imho. Everything could have been solved with proper planning and putting emphasis in the proper places. Wearing a Priscilla of Boston dress when you run out of food is pretty darn bad.

I don't feel sorry for her for one second, she never once when planning considered her guests and assumed that "anyone who loves me will make sure that they are there and deal with how things are". Well, maybe they made it there but obviously they didn't deal with the obvious discounting of them. I say good for the guests for getting out of there.

I dont feel one even TEENY TINY BIT for her... You didnt plan well at all, and you left ppl, hot, tired, hungry and bored... THEN your parents had to go get more food?! OH HELL NO. and you're walking around in a pricey ass dress but no one can eat and you made me wait?!?! NOPE, i dont see the sympathy at all.... LMAO @ your FH though!!!!

Sorry, I don't feel bad for her. She planned a crappy wedding. She got exactly what she planned. Sometimes things go wrong, and I feel bad about that...

But they used a free location (city park) to save money. They did nothing for their guests. They made the guest list bigger than they could afford to feed. They hired a crappy DJ- probably to save money.

She had 15BMs? Hello- can you say completely INSANE! She sounds self-centered (wanted to make an entrance...Really? You're the F-ing bride! You always make an entrance). She had no concern for her guests.

Thanks for sharing, because maybe some brides will learn that this isn't all about them... This particular bride probably lost quite a few friends this weekend.
