As the 'old timers' of the forum know I was supposed to be getting married in July but for one reason or another we postponed but this has left us in chaos with guests. My MOH was coming from America, she'd already booked her flights and couldn't transfer them so she came over in July anyway but couldn't afford to come over next month - so my best friend of 26 years will be missing :( Then my stepdad had already booked out the last of his holiday time for July and he can't afford to take the day off to come (him and mum are struggling with finances big time so very unfair of me to have a stromp with them) And to cap it off we have Ross' parents threatening not to come - it's no secret that we don't get on and to be perfectly honest I don't give a rat's a55 if they don't but the very threat of it is hurting Ross so much :(
If I don't think about it I'm alright but knowing that 2 people who love us so much and who want to support us can't be there churns me up and seeing how hurt my hubs is but not being able to do anything about it is so tough - bl00dy hell :'( xxx
It's right what they say
"The course of true love never runs smoothly"
But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D

My H2B's mum lives in Australia and she's not invited to our wedding, as his parents divorced in his teens and his dad has since re-married - however, I've agreed with our videographer that I want additional copies of the video and I am planning on sending her a copy so that she can at least see our day even though she's not there. It's not the same as your situation but hopefully you can see that you can involve people after the main event, it is difficult with overseas guests but there are other ways to share with them. I have 13 family in Canada, but as we booked our wedding in June for the bank holiday, this might mean several of them can't come as it's exam time for the kids and one of my cousins is a school teacher - they're going to try to see what they can do but I'm not expecting them to come, but know they send their best wishes and we will be sending them lots of photos regardless!

Ah screw the in laws... haven't they done enough? At least I know you have a Monster in Law :) so if she doesn't come then it might be better!
Shame about your parents and your MOH though, maybe Skype the wedding so they can be there in spirit and won't miss it?
Got married 27th June and blessed on July 5th 2012
Finally Mrs M :3
Love, love... Here we are.

Both suggestions above are very good ideas. Your parents and MOH who can't be there would love to see your special day. As for the in laws - there's time yet for them to change their minds. xx
