Was There Anyone Who RSVPed "No" That You Got Emotional About?

[nikkiana]

Was there anyone on your guest list that RSVPed "No" that you ended up getting emotional about the fact they weren't coming? Who was it and why?

[wendy9879]

I'm worried about it and I haven't even sent out my invitations yet! :sigh:

Everyone has to travel so far for our wedding that I think I'll get more emotional for those who say yes. I'm expecting most to say no.

We've only gotten 2 "no's" thus far. I'm more peeved than anything. It is two couples who will be away on a cruise that week! I'm peeved because we sent save the date cards out in NOVEMBER....they knew when the wedding was! We went to both of their weddings, so I'm a little frustrated about it.

His parents. They RSVP "Will not attend with pleasure" it really hurt my DH but in the long run run its there loss

[HelenAngel]

My father & stepmom, and my brother & his girlfriend. My brother & his girlfriend didn't actually RSVP, they just didn't show up and told my other brother it wasn't worth their time. My father had a business trip- because let me tell you that work is so much more important than attending your daughter's wedding. :rolleyes:

Helen- WTF???? No wonder you got emotional! I would be so hurt and then I would be soooooo pissed off! :mad:

Almost all of Dan's family. His immediate family will be there (sibs, parents) but so far NONE of the rest of them are coming :(

You're kidding. That's absolutely shocking.

[Kari]

nope :(

We invited about 135 people, planning on paying for about 75 and at this point, we are thinking that we may be paying for people who aren't there. I understand that the travel is a bit rough, but we were hoping that *some* of them would try and come.

It doesn't help that one of his uncles just got diagnosed with bladder cancer. We were expecting him, his wife and their adult children to come (they had told us they were) but with him getting sick, they aren't. And now all Dan's other aunts and uncles are expecting to have to go to a funeral soon so they are skipping the wedding to save the cash

(Mostly speculation, but educated speculation)

I kinda got emotional when my "great aunt betty" said no..she is my ONLY aunt on my dads family and besides my grandma, the only relative I am that close too.

I was hoping she would come. But she would rather spend time with her grandkids.

James uncle-the one that is the closest too said NO .. He is off work 3 months out of the year, but never knows when that time will be. He works on the railroad (sprays chemicals to keep weeds down), so never know what state he will be in day to day. He will come if he is home during the time of the wedding. I know James was a bit disappointed.

Marie - I'm so sorry to hear that. I can't imagine that was easy to read.

wow hunny ~hugz~ so sorry, that would be like a stab rite to the heart. did you ahve a good relationship with your father?

[lunarmagic]

My ex best friend. I hadn't spoken to her in a while, but the last time I did I had told her we'd gotten engaged and we were having the wedding in the summer. I didn't know if she'd be able to come, but what got me was that she sent a "no" and that was IT. No email, no call, no extra note on the RSVP with regrets.... and I seriously have not heard from her since. I don't know WHAT is up with that, but that was pretty much the last straw for me with that friendship.

[*Diane*]

Damn, Natalie, that is harsh. I hope you were so busy and happy on your big day(s) that you didn't notice her absence.

[nikkiana]

I got really emotional when my friend Adam said I he couldn't come.... He'd gotten really sick with the flu and took a week off of work to cope, so he can't take another day off for the wedding. :-(

[Theresa]

My grandmother was the biggest disappointment for me. She went to all of my other cousin's weddings, but not mine. She said she couldn't travel, but she'd travelled to my cousin's wedding just a year before mine. So I don't get that argument :dunno: Even though we still had 4 grandparents alive at the time of our wedding, none of them came.

I was also upset that none of my cousins could come. One was 9 months pregnant, one was on a trip for business school, and the other two didn't come.

[*heather*]

The only one I got really emotional about was from my mother's sister in law. Her husband (my mom's brother) is my favorite uncle, but apparently, something happened (he won't say what) and he hates us now. The RSVP came back saying "congratulations from me." I cried, because it meant "your uncle does NOT send his congratulations." I wish I knew what happened!

[rowanmayfairs]

James Father said NO

He hasn't been apart of James life much at all..he left when James was maybe 5yr old.

he lives 3 hrs away and is retired.. He is remarried now and step kids are long grown up. But he can't make it to the wedding.

I have never met his dad..

But now i see why James doesn't want boys..he wants his last name to disappear after us. He has his step dads last name..but step dad is dead (and they didn't get along either for the short time he was married to james mom).

[Sk8ermaiden]

I was really sad that Chris's godfather couldn't come.

We were also upset his Uncle Larry couldn't come - as was Uncle Larry...his wife forced him to stay home.

[~*Kate*~]

Two of our girlfriends skipped our wedding to go see Widespread Panic. Because they've only seen Widespread, what, 100 times? :disbelief: It wasn't so much that they themselves weren't there, but knowing the reason made it hurt.

[Deidre98]

I was upset that my great uncle didn't make it. Apparently he is getting divorced from his wife and decided to leave California right before the wedding. He is the only family member from my dad's side that I am missing in the family picture.

[Kathy]

My mom's whole family, all living in Florida, couldn't come. That's about 30 people. And none of them even bothered to RSVP!! I guess it made it more special to see my dad's family there, though.

[Poloke]

My cousin Steve & his wife. They lived in VA at the time and he was in the Navy, so they just couldn't make it. He's one of my favorite cousins and would have loved for him to have been there.

[*meghan*]

My godparents. I haven't seen them in about 10 years and I cried when I got the No. They didn't come to my HS graduation, college graduation, or wedding. They don't have any children, so I'm the closest they have to a kid. Who knows :dunno:
