any important people cancel?

HappyMaddie · January 2012

Our wedding is 3 and a half months away. after planning it since the summer, and giving out all the important info, my fiance's mom cancelled.

seriously? if you weren't going to come it would have been better to let us know early on, instead of being all excited when we saw you at Christmas and talking about all the excursions you wanted to do?!?!

Blerg.

her new husband could not get approved for a passport (yeah he is a winner!) now she doesn't want to come.

worst. mom. ever.

sorry for the rant, but has anyone else had a very important person cancel last minute?? it doesn't affect our booking - i just feel bad for fiance, he's being all brave and saying all the right things. apparently this bothers me and not him, so i am going to let it go, but i just had to rant!! oh and my fiance is her only kid!!

Thanks for listening!

Oh man, I am so sorry this has happend to you guys. I have not had anyone cancel yet but we shall see ! My FI's father is not a big traveler and he has said his little comments to my FI and it really bothers him. I know with it being a DW people are going to have their opinions...I just really wish it was not immediate family. He also told my FI that he wanted to come Saturday and leave Sunday. WTF ?????

Maybe you guys could sit and talk with her and see if there are any options for her to come ?

I'm sorry, that really sucks! You would think she would just go without her husband. Is that an option for her? I would hope that her son is more important!

That's horrible. I'm so sorry.

MIL, FIL, BIL+SIL+nephews almost cancelled 48 hours before the wedding because they were afraid of radiation leaking from Japan (our wedding was 1 week after the tsunami). I remember every feeling I had in that moment they called DH (then FI) to tell him. We really didn't know if they'd make it until my sister texted and said she ran into them on her flight.

She is still saying maybe but she won't make a decision she said until right before our wedding. But she cancelled her room etc and lost their deposit. Ughh family drama lol!! I just felt bad for him but he keeps saying that the only people he cares about being there is him and me .... So sweet. But I still feel bad like kidnapping his mom and stuffing her in my luggage for him lol. Thanks for the support and comments ladies!!

Wow. I'm pretty sure if my son were getting married & my husband couldn't go, I'd still go. It's pretty low of her to "choose" her new husband over her son. So sorry for you & your fi

Ugh that really stinks! I couldn't imagine not going to my child's wedding when I was invited. So far we haven't had had any major people drop out. We were worried about FI's father but he said he's all for it and will come for sure. But really good friends of ours probably won't come.

Could you talk to her about it? Tell her that even though your FI says he's fine, you think he'd really like to have his mother there.

Ugh that is super annoying I'm sorry. Her new husband sounds like such a winner lol I can't believe that she would do that! I haven't had any family cancel yet but my best friend had to back out of being my bridesmaid and coming because of job issues and I was devestated. Its part of having a destination wedding but it still sucks.

terrible! I'm in a similar spot, none of my FI's family is going, and he doesn't seem bothered by it at all, but I feel bad. My mother, brother, and even a few friends are going, and while he is very close to my family, I still feel bad. I feel like his family should want to be there for him! I don't get it!! >.< I can't see anything getting in the way of my child's wedding! Especially a guy!! I'd rather go solo than not at all.
