Awful day
Awful day
My sister got stood up at her wedding. Over 150 people were there, seated and ready for the ceremony. The groom didn't show up, didn't call, nothing. It's been a rough day to say the very least. People kept offering to go buy her something to drink and she declined every time. I was amazed by her strength. If she's not wanting to drown her sadness on what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, then none of us should ever have an excuse to break down. I was the maid of honor. Me and all the bridesmaids stood with her while she explained to the entire audience what had happened. Dad walked her down the aisle anyway, before the speech. It was really sad.
That sucks. I know that some couples have called off a wedding days before it was scheduled, but I've never quite believed it ever actually happened on the wedding day (I always thought it just happened in the movies). Glad your sister is ok. What about the groom's friends? Best man? We're they also caught by surprise?
People get cold feet. It happens. Clearly something wasn't right with the relationship if this occurred. Better to find out this way then to have to go through nasty divorce proceedings IMO.
Best of luck to your sister and your family.

thats some pretty impressive strength! good for her. Sad horrible story however. I often wonder if the next family death will put me back on the bar stool. Its one tough situation I have not had to encounter yet and pretty much the first thing I do if i hear a loved ones passed is promptly get drunk like a skunk to numb the pain. I also think if my wife ever left me I'd probably go back in the beer barrel feeling like there is no point.
A story like this inspires me that there is hope god forbid something that horrible happens that i can make it.

Thanks for the support everyone. Its been a loooong day. No one saw this coming and it was a total shock. Even though it was going to be a "dry" wedding, some people brought liquor anyway. I guess one good thing is that I didn't partake to "destress." I could've, but I didn't. It would've only made things worse anyway. Still surprised by the people that brought liquor, even though they knew it was a "dry" event. Even when I was actively drinking, I wouldn't have done that. Granted I would've been annoyed and chain smoking, but still.
Everyone was there except the groom and best man...I think someone asked that earlier. We all talked about how it was like a movie scene too. I didn't think things like this really happened either.
