I am a big fan of the saying "no one cares about your wedding as much as you do", and I have really tried to live up to it as much as possible. I haven't asked a bridesmaid to DIY anything, or pay ungodly amounts to get their hair done, or anything really. I haven't asked anything of my friends or family, I just want their presence at my wedding! That's it. But at this point I am really feeling like the saying should just be "no one cares about your wedding".My bridal shower is this weekend, and my mom has been so kind and generous to host it for me. She has put in so much time and effort to get every little detail just right. I really cannot put into words how grateful I am. She sent out invites several weeks ago with plenty of notice.Everyone in my family, except for two second cousins, have bailed on my shower. My aunts and cousins and grandma and everyone else are not coming. I understand that things happen, you have other plans, your out of town, it's your birthday weekend, whatever. But literally EVERYONE, bar my two distant relatives, aren't coming. On top of this, almost all of my friends have also bailed. At this point it's my wedding party and my future in laws, who as driving 2+ hours to get here for the shower. And honestly, I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed that my friends and family could not come to this, but nearly everyone on my fiancés family made it a priority to be here. And, this is where I get bridezilla, I have been to countless housewarming parties and baby showers and wedding showers and weddings and I ALWAYS go. And I'm ALWAYS a nice guest and bring something and am genuinely happy for my friends and family. And I feel so sad and bad that my family and friends are not there for me during my time.Can anyone relate? I'm just to gutted. via /r/weddingplanning http://ift.tt/2uMQJ4T
