    Ok so I'm getting married today.. It's really early and I'm wide awake and in a fit of stress to be honest.

    I've literally just had a message from two of our guests have dropped out due to illness.
    Worst thing is.. I care about them alot, but I can't help feeling gutted because it's our money(and it's alot of money as we all know), down the pan.

    I can't sleep, I cant think straight or anything.
    Gahhhhhh!

    Luck is really not on my side!! X

    Deep breaths! Your guests must be gutted at not coming too! Why don't you run the bath and gave a nice soak and a nice cuppa tea. What time are you getting married? Have a fabby day, it'll be fine!!

    Drop all that stress. Tell youself you will have a wonderful day, and don't let yourself dwell on anything negative.

    Ultimately today is about you and your man, and don't let anything spoil that ;)

    And yes, go have a lovely bath, do whatever you like to do to relax, and then get ready and have an amazing day! Chin up! :)

    There are so many people out there who will tell you
    what you can't do.
    What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

    aww hun, i feel gutted for you but as others have said, the guests are probably gutted as well.

    do you have anyone on your evening list that you could give a call to and invite them to the day so that the money is not wasted

    shame that guests drop out last minute. I would be a bit annoyed too, they more than likely hung on to see if they felt better today or not.
    We're expecting people to drop out at the last minute, they always do.

    Just try and do youre best to put it out of your mind, at least they told you!
    My first wedding we were meant to ahve 48 guests, all replied syaing theyd be there, 35 turned up, the rest didnt even bother to say they werent coming!


    I hope you ahve a fabulous day, i am sure you will.
    Congratulations, and good luck hun

    i can totally understand your disapointment, i hate it when people dont turn up!

    But just look on the bright side:

    1 - you get to marry the man you love
    2 - the weather is amazing
    3 - your going to have the time of your life
    4 - all the hard work you've done to get to this day will make you enjoy it :)

    Good luck for 2day and the future xxx

    think of it another way, the money was spent anyway whether they came or not....I know it would have been money you could have saved but thats sometimes the way things go.......
    but ocean is right......LOOK AT THE GORGEOUS SUNNY WEATHER TODAY! and no amount of money can buy that..........

    Have a wonderful day;.

    Hope you have a wonderful day. I know it's disappointing about your friends - but you'll still enjoy your day. The same thing happened at our wedding - my auntie was really ill and couldn't travel. I was upset because I'm her only niece. She sent a lovely letter for us to read at the reception, but it did feel odd her not being there.
