What do you do when they don't show up?

Lucky me, on June 30, 2013 at 10:20 PM

So I had people not show up to the wedding. Yes this is normal... But hurtful! The one friend I have known forever! I asked his friend who did show up where he was ? He said that he couldn't get a babysitter! Mind you he's married, so in my mind why couldnt his wife come or just him (I'm friends with his wife too but more him)??? Another friend didn't show and my girlfriend comes up to me at that wedding and says "Mary said she couldn't come because she called into work". Really???? She got called into work?

Oh and yes I send out STD months prior to the wedding!!

Now a week later, no phone call, no text, no fb message, NOTHING saying hey sorry I didn't make it, from either of these friends!

Honestly, I'm hurt! Now I am never one to bite my tongue but in this instance I feel why should I be the one to ask why they didn't come???

What are your thoughts?

Alright ladies I'm just seeing all of this.

It's important to remember that there is a widely DIVERSE group of women that frequent our site. Of course not everyone is going to have the same ideals, opinions, or understanding of what is 'right' for a wedding. I think a little explanation and patience can go a long way & not everyone will immediately 'get' your point of view.

That being said however there have been plenty of 'biting' comments on this thread that are unnecessary and that have been taken personally.These type of posts do nothing but stir up negative conflict and combative comments. People feel attacked and then defensive. I think we can all agree here that this doesn't add to the welcoming environment we strive to foster here at WeddingWire.

I think many of the misunderstanding and misinterpretation led to frustration & anger-- let's remember we don't have to agree on everything so let's move on to a more pleasant topic of conversation. Thanks everyone!
