Why didn't i elope?!

Trista, on August 4, 2019 at 7:16 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 19
Here we are, 34 days until the wedding! I've gotten 3 rsvps back, I've had countless problems with photography and difficult bridal party members. And then today, one of my long time friends, who dropped out of my wedding party because she was going through a divorce, posted on Facebook that she had just eloped and was planning a celebration ON MY WEDDING DAY. She hadn't even told me she wasn't coming to my wedding! I'm so done with everything! I SHOULD HAVE ELOPED.

    That would feel like a punch in the gut! I hope you're able to still enjoy your special day. Don't let her rob you of your joy!

    I won't let her steal my happiness. To say I was angry this morning was a bit of an understatement!

    Ugh so sorry to hear this! I think we've all had that "we should have eloped" reaction at least once! Hang in there ♥️

    Oh Trista!! I'm so sorry your wedding planning has been so difficult. I just dont understand people not RSVPing. The nerve of your friend not to inform you of her plans. And then to have her reception on your wedding day is simply rude!! Ridiculous! You are so close, just hang in there. Your wedding day will still be the happiest day of your life. Concentrate on your goal: married to the love of your life. Again, I'm so sorry. Weddings do bring out the worst in some people.

    It's honestly a good thing this site has community guidelines or this could have been a very 'colorful' post!

    I can't wait to marry my FH! The way I'm looking at it, I don't want anyone there that isn't excited and happy to be there.

    With all do respect, your friend sucks. That's a slap to the face.

    Hey,

    I'm sorry that you have to go through that. FORGET HER, she's not a true one and you don't need that energy around you anyway. For the rsvps I would just take the next weekend and call or message all the people you sent an invite to and remind them that they haven't submitted a RSVP yet. People honestly do forget (I have forgotten to do so myself on 2 weddings and one was a really close friend of mine) It's an honest mistake that happens all the time. Don't let any of it take away your shine. If they love you, they'll be there! Don't worry.

    Yikes! After that I don't know that I'd even consider her a friend anymore at this point... So sorry you've been having a tough time. I hope everything comes together for you and works out in the end.

    I’m sorry this is happening to you. My sisters did something similar on my previous wedding and it nearly destroyed my day. I broke down a bit but realized there are many others who would make my day wonderful so I told my sisters that I would be fine if they didn’t go. They didn’t and I still had a good day. Hope you can get to the point where you don’t not care about those who don’t care about you. They are not worth the energy and stress. You have enough to worry about.

    Omg! I’d want to scream. Sometimes a prayer/intention can help. We had several “no” RSVPs to our local reception and a few folks we were concerned about so my hubby and I asked “let the perfect people be at our reception.” And I think we set our own intention about how we wanted to feel (can’t remember). Then let it go.
