Start:
So, we made our final payment at our venue on Sunday. Yesterday, I received 3 phone calls, from 3 different aunt saying that my uncles had gotten called into work on Friday night, and there was no way they could get out of it. All of my Aunts still plan on attending, but still..... I am so bummed! I already put in the headcount, paid, and made my placecards! WTF!
Then..... my friend (She is a lot older - in her 40's) told me that she will be receiving Blood Transfusions on Thursday and doesn't know how she will feel. She plans on still attending the wedding, but there may be a chance she might miss it. Which - I totally understand because she is ill..... but still bummed!
That would be a total of 5 down....
End.

I hope everything else goes smoothly. It stinks when things don't work out the way they are supposed to.

Also, one of FI's friends keeps breaking up and getting back together with his girlfriend - so far he's been bringing her, not bringing her, bringing someone else, not bringing anyone. Whatever. I left her name on the freaking card and if he brings someone else, that's his own problem for not telling me what the H-E-L-L is going on!!

[QUOTE]If it makes you feel any better we had guests who were paid for that didn't even show up to the wedding/reception. I was PISSED. It wasn't like it was a $100pp but still.. it was money that was paid and they didn't even send a text/call/ apologize for not coming. I hope everything else goes smoothly. It stinks when things don't work out the way they are supposed to.

</div><div>Oh that really angers me! At the reception for my first wedding two of my friends, who RSVPd "Yes" didn't show. Turns out another mutual friend (who wasn't invited as we really weren't close at the time) was having her bachelorette party that seem weekend and my friends went there instead. They were both in her bridal party and none of us were really that close anymore (they were invited with their parents who were still friends with my parents), but still... CALL SOMEONE!

I believe in a lot of things. I believe in fresh tennis balls, the healing power of bunnies, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are something I'll never read. In fact, I don't even know who Susan Sontag is. What is she... like... a painter? I believe in Crystal Lite because I believe in ME. I believe in the movies of Val Kilmer, though these days it ain't so easy. I believe in Darren Sproles, the word "dabble", the first season of "Silk Stockings", and big, warm, moist, gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth and all over your face.
