So I just got off of the phone with my mom, who told me that my aunt and uncle from TX will not be able to come to our wedding due to my cousin's wife being pregnant, and they promised that they would be there for the birth. I totally understand, but at the same time I am so sad.
First of all, this is how I find out that they are pregnant (my mom forgot to tell me earlier), and secondly, this is the 3rd couple whose due date is right before our wedding. I'm happy for them all, but at the same time, I'm rather disappointed because, at a minimum, that is another 8-12 people that won't be attending that I am very close to. (And in the case of this aunt and uncle, we only really got to see them when they were visiting my elderly grandmother, but now that she's passed away, they won't be getting out here much, if at all. So I was very much looking forward to seeing them again since they said they would be there.)
We were trying to make the wedding small and intimate (around 100-120 people), but now i'm afraid it wont even be 100. Which would be ok, but we each have 5 attendants. I'm not going to ask anyone to step down of course, but I just hope it won't look too strange to have over 10% of the guest list standing at the front and so few people sitting down.
Sorry about the pathetic vent, its a little disappointing and I feel so guilty about feeling this way over such a happy occasion. Normally I would just vent to FI for 3 mins. and be fine, but he's away this week (& next) for his new job, and my close friends have been MIA ever since we selected our attendants, so I don't feel as if I have anyone to vent to. So thanks for letting me vent here.
