Today, my wedding is scheduled for next week. Today is also the day my whole family had an epic falling out, resulting in my mother disowning my brother. Apart from having them taking turns sobbing at me through the phone, they're also not coming to the wedding. I paid the hotel rooms in advance. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I overheard my mom talking on the phone with my sister about how much they hate my fiancé. My wedding is in two weeks and my family has been pretending to like my future husband for three years. 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 got a call from my parents that they have decided to get a divorce. My brothers and I just shelled out $5,000 each and spent months planning their 50th Anniversary party that was supposed to be next month. FML
Today, my mom and my step dad decided they're getting a divorce. They've been married for 2 weeks and I paid for a quarter of the wedding. FML
Today, my younger brother called me saying he's getting married. Now, I have to attend my ex's wedding. I'm the best man. FML
Today, six weeks before my wedding, my mother decided to claim that she never agreed on paying for it and that she doesn't think she will. Now I have six weeks to scavenge enough cash for the wedding she planned in the first place. FML
Today, I’m stuck in a situation. It’s my mom's wedding, but her fiancé had a heart attack and died this morning. Now I’m surrounded by crying people, having to pretend to be upset so no one gets mad at me. I couldn’t care less to be honest, the man was an arsehole who treated mom and me like shit in private. FML
Today, my mom told me that I will never see my siblings again because I refused to attend her wedding to another woman. FML
Today, my whole family turned on me because I absolutely refused to attend my son's wedding, even though he really wanted me to walk him down the aisle. He married the woman he cheated on his ex-wife with, and abandoned their kids. That's why I refused to attend. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé's parents are refusing to pay for a honeymoon, because they "didn't have one, so neither will we", meaning they won't pay for a single thing for our wedding. FML

I'm so sorry that this happened. It's your day and you should try to enjoy it with or without them. If they can find it in themselves to handle the situation like mature adults, hopefully they'll both still come to support you.

It's your day, darling. Don't let their childish actions ruin it for you!

It seems to me that you're more angry that you wasted your money on hotel rooms rather than your family.

More like, it's a stressful time and money is only one additional worry they have created for OP. Having family act this way when you need their support is hurtful.

Whatever they're being so childish about, it shouldn't keep them from going to their close family members wedding. Unless of course one of them shot the other in both their knees, then lit them on fire... right?

It's not; it's one of many issues with this situation.

Look at it this way, it sucks that this happened but it could be worse. This could have happened AT your wedding instead of before your wedding.

I believe you have the right to tell them they are being egoistic and you still all are a family and they should get over themselves for your wedding!

is it not possible for you to get them to reconcile? maybe get them to sit and talk it out while you mediate

Make them pay you back!! That's money you lost out on because of their decision, so they should be held responsible.

How exactly?

I'm so sorry OP. I just had a courthouse wedding to avoid the drama that a wedding would have caused with my family. In the end, it's just about the person you're marrying and you! Don't let them ruin that for you. Maybe if you call the hotel and ask, you can cancel your reservations and just pay a small fine for cancelling? A week is a decent amount of time. Either way, I wish the best of luck to you.

My dad disowned me. But sometimes people are just unfit for the task.

You can always explain to the hotel of the problem. It's a week away, you should receive a refund and only be charged a cancellation fee. If it's within a few days they usually wont. If they wont, wait a day and have the rooms rescheduled to a later date, like months later. It doesn't cost you any money to change the date. Then, cancel them a week later! You'll only pay the cancellation fee! If it's not booked under a special rate for your wedding (Like you're having it at that hotel) you should be fine, and get your money back! :)
