Feeling down

in July 2012 Weddings
Last night I had a dream that no one was coming to our wedding except for a few people and it's starting to come true. My FI's parents both passed away so we were counting on his aunt/counsin who he is close to to come to the wedding. They told us they were coming so it's not like this was unfounded. We got their RSVP today and for some reason they aren't coming now. We are both really bummed and he is taking it pretty hard.

So far 79/143 have responded and only 45 are coming. We knew that the distance was going to prevent some people from coming but I guess I just didn't expect that many.

Just needed to vent a little...

    Aww, cheer up!  No matter how many people come to your wedding it will be a day filled with love and you'll be surrounded by the people that love you and want to be with you on that day.  It doesn't matter how many people come to you wedding, IMO.
    It will be a wonderful day, no  matter what!

    It's okay!!!!  No matter what YOU & FI are MARRIED!!! That is all the day is meant to be!  All the rest is just extras!

    I had a dream last night that the breaks went out in my car and that FI & I were swirving through traffic and I was trying to slow down but I wasn't!! haha..I finally was able to swirve over & to a side country road somewhere I have no idea..I know we weren't in FL...and there were 2 Clydes...not 1 but 2 and they were jumping in and out of the windows...it was odd....

    I'm sorry :( My FI is dealing with the same thing. A lot of his dad's side of the family isn't coming because: it's far, they don't have a lot of money, and my FI's cousin chose to get married 2 weeks before us even though we had our date 4 months before them. grrrr...can you tell that bothers me?

    Anyway, what PPs said is true, no matter what you'll be married and that's all that matters. It's ok to be sad about it though.

    If it makes you feel better you are not alone. I am anticipating almost 70 No's.  I am kind of in shock, because we will have to still pay for almost 50 of those plates.  (I stupidly thought we would easily reach our minimum at the venue for a few different reasons.) It will be thousands and thousands of dollars wasted.  Some of the No's I already know about haven't actually arrived yet, so I am hoping people will reconsider.  Having a July wedding, I was always most concerned with the heat, I never realized that even with STDs that I would be contending with so many summer vacations.  I also think each couple assumes they are the only one not coming and won't be missed, and don't realize that it is is an epidemic.

    I keep telling myself that at the end of the day we'll be married, and that's the most important, but when my Dad told me yesterday about all the RSVPs they got, it was really hard not to fight the tears.  I think a lot of the sadness comes from the fact that there are people that I thought would never miss it, and they aren't coming for reasons that seemed very avoidable.   

    Then to top it off, I blocked 23 hotel rooms, only to find out they all went really fast, and even with begging I couldn't get anymore.  People are still calling the hotel trying to book, and getting turned down.  It's not a destination wedding, and I never thought that many people would want to stay over.

    Anyway, my planning abilities seem to not be so good....    Too many people planned for the wedding venue, not enough people planned for the hotel...Frown
