Has your wedding made you hate people haha?

So story time. The day before the wedding my BM's sister told my BM to tell me that she was bringing her FI to the wedding. (They were together only a few months and engaged only a few days before the wedding. I didn't even know he existed until that Monday.) This girl is not only sister to my best friend but my bro's childhood bff.  But she wasn't asking, she was TELLING me he was coming. Well at this point, the DOC already had the seating chart, placecards had been made and given to her as well, final count was given and every vendor was paid in full,  there was nothing I could really do.  I tell my BM to tell her sorry, but this is the day b4 the wedding and she knew she was invited way back in Oct 2009 and if she really wanted him there after they got together, she could have asked and I would have said yes but the day before it's not happening. THEN she had the nerve to get all pissed off at me and threaten not to come to the dinner we had already paid for- which I also told her was not ok.I understand she was disappointed but why procrastinate in asking me and then get mad?  Well she ended up bringing him and sneaking around w/ him the whold night. Like when we came to their table, she saw us coming and she slipped out so we wouldn't notice but we totally saw her kissing him and dancing w/ him- we're not dumb. Whatever

Then, I had a friend who RSVPed yes and then while DH and I were on the HM, we noticed we never saw her. Got on facebook today and she was tagged in all these july 4 pictures at someone's bonfire bbq 3 hours away from where our wedding was! uh...did you just forget?? She never gave any word or response about not coming..she just ditched our wedding for another party.

Yeah, this seems to be when you see just how much people suck.
 First off, DH is from Texas and is kind of shy, so doesn't have friends here other than my friends. The few friends he has in Texas got invites as early as my overseas relatives, yet not one of them managed to make it! He basically had his parents, his sister, and his cousin there. Even worse, one of the groomsmen RSVPed by text message 15 minutes before I turned in my counts, then called a few days later to say he wasn't coming after all.

On my side, I'd invited just a handful of people from dance class. One of them begged for an extra invite for the guy she'd been seeing for a month, which I gave her since one of my uncles had to cancel due to an emergency. She didn't show up (=3 meals I paid for for no reasons). Then one of the ladies from the dance class had made such a fuss about willing to even usher because she absolutely wanted to be at the wedding didn't show up either. The worst part is that I know they probably just went to a going away party for one of the teachers' kid (whose coming back in 2 months!) because the one girl  from dance who did show up mentioned she was leaving early to go to that party but wanted to make sure she came to the ceremony and gave me a gift! I have half a mind to act like I didn't hear about the party when I see those people next week and see what they say.

oh that's even worse! A groomsmen didn't come?? Why are people insane? I know the old excuse is that people don't know the time and money that really goes into planning a wedding but w/ some of this behavior, that's not even acceptable- it's just rude! We had half a table of people leave before the reception started- we had about 10 or 12 people total that we paid to eat who didn't show or didn't stay for their dinner.  Any other good stories of people's bad behavior?

Yea, true colors indeed. As far as that groomsman is concerned, I'm not even mad about the meal, since it was just one plate. I just find it wrong that he knew his friend was getting married here, with less than one table of his own people around, and he pulls this. My MOH made the trip from Switzerland for chrying out loud!
