So, can I ask…
During this whole “wedding planning” thing…has anyone else completely freaked out about the number of guests coming to your shin-dig?
Because that’s all I can worry about lately.
I’m so concerned that the church will be empty, and there will be no reason to even have a reception.
Apparently…
NO ONE WANTS TO COME TO MY WEDDING!!!
And I know I shouldn’t be concerned about how many people are coming…it’s not a popularity contest…but when you realize, no one really cares enough to come…it not only hurts a little bit…it also makes you feel really, REALLY lame.
Because, if the church is empty, and the reception is like Reading Day at the library…
I’m going to feel like a big-fat LOSER.
Um…am I the only one who’s worried about this? Or has this happened to other people? And would someone please console me and tell me it doesn’t really matter???
*sigh*

It doesn’t really matter–as long as the people you and Joel care about the most (family) are there, then it is good.
Take it from someone who had the smallest wedding known to mankind. Besides, the big ones are just going to wear you out–you have to be a PR person and thank everyone who came so they feel good, even if you are the bride. It’s more work to have more people.
I’m sorry we aren’t coming. But you will get to see us all at Christmas, hopefully!

Dude, I know what you mean. (And I apologize for calling you “dude.”)
I just sent my invitations last week and so far only a few responses have come back, but I have to admit that I was a little hurt by the one “no” I received. It was from a relative who lives in South Carolina, so I figured she wouldn’t be able to make it. We’re not even particularly close, but I was still offended for some reason. Maybe because it’s hard not to take it personal when someone doesn’t want to (or can’t) come to your wedding. After all, it IS the most important day of my life thus far — why wouldn’t everyone want to be there?
I, too, am afraid that the church will be empty, especially since only four people from my fiance’s family are coming — and two of them are in the wedding! (My fiance is from Malaysia, so we are having a celebration there with his family once he gets his Green Card stuff figured out).
I’m sure I’ll get over it — I doubt I’ll really care once the wedding day comes as long as the people I’m closest to are there.

If we were closer, and gas wasn’t so expensive, I would be there! But my husband? He rarely will go to ANYTHING I want to go to…..

I’ll be there in spirit. I’ll not be back in God’s Country, and that’s my excuse.

Well, you saved yourselves 43 cents on a stamp!
Consider that my wedding present. Don’t spend it all in one place.
