Today, I had my wedding at 11 a.m. so that I could spend a lot of time with my friends and family. Everyone left within 4 hours. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, it was my wedding. Everyone showed up… except my fiancé. FML
Today, it was the day of my wedding. I had a massive headache a couple of hours before the ceremony so I decided to take a nap. I told my brother to wake me up an hour before it started. He forgot. Now everyone thinks I ran out on my wife. FML
Today, my wife and I went to a wedding. At one in the morning, when the cheese was being served, we were starting to fall asleep at the table, so we went to our car to take a short nap. When we woke up it was 5 a.m., and the party was over. FML
Today, after almost two days, I finally fell asleep, during my husband's vows, on our wedding day, in front of 250 guests. FML
Today, I accidentally slept in two hours later than I was supposed to. Today is my wedding day. FML
Today, I got married. My sister and father could not attend because they already had plans. My sister went to the mall with her friends, and my dad went to a pool party. FML
Today, my fiancée decided to go on a "vacation." Our wedding is tomorrow. FML
Today, I'm sitting at home, alone, playing video games. My wedding is tomorrow afternoon. None of my bridesmaids wanted to hang out tonight. FML
Today, my family got mad at me for eloping and not inviting them to my wedding. Even though they admitted they wouldn't have gone anyway. FML
Today, I woke up a little after seven. I felt sick to my stomach because last night was my bachelor party and I drank more than I ever have before. I checked my phone, and I had received 42 missed calls. It was seven o'clock pm. Today was my wedding day. FML

Typically guests don't want to make a wedding (or most any event for that matter) an all day affair, so don't feel too badly, OP.

Wedding guests often don't plan to stay too long because they feel the newlyweds will want some alone time together. At least they came out for your special day, and you got to see them and then spend some time with your new spouse!

Sorry people didn't stay asking as you hoped. Beautiful time for a wedding though! I hope it was happy regardless of who came and stayed.

I'm guessing you didn't have an open bar. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

i dont understand how all of yall are saying 4 hours is pretty long. If i drop 20k on a wedding and invite 100 people they better stay all day and drink all the alcohol provided. i mean its supposed to be one of the most special days of your life and also the most expensive in some cases. i dont know how the standard american culture is but European weddings last all weekend with at least half of the guests partying to the end

usually american weddings last a day at most. more time is spent on preparation the day of than it is at the actual ceremony/reception, especially if a lot of the relatives have young kids. hard to keep kids polite and in nice clothing for more than a few hours.

four hours is quite a while, especially if you're tired. they probably had to wake up pretty early to make it there on time. don't feel too bad op, more time for you and your spouse.

Same thing happened to me except that people began leaving at 2, before our dance. Our dance ended up being like 5 people dancing around and then we ended for pictures because really what's the point of that? But I was happy to not be too tired and drained to have sex with my husband.

People need to stop acting like their wedding is the most important day in the world to every one of their family and friends. It's an important day for you and your husband and maybe a few other family members, to everyone else it's just an expensive party that they have to dress up for and bring a gift to. Get real, open your eyes, and stop being so self absorbed. This is why my boyfriend and I don't even want a wedding. Waste of time and money.

Four hours is totally normal for guests to stay. Didn't you want to spend time with your significant other?

Most people only stay for a few hours. I'm sure they wanted to give you and your partner alone time.
