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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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!

Have other guests take the room(s) and call and add 2 new people to the wedding itself.

Well I guess I could fly out there and take their rooms :)

My brother in law got into a big fight with my father and mother in law the day before my wedding. He refused to attend and kept his son with him too. So basically we paid to fly him round-trip and have a hotel room for 2 days for nothing. While it was frustrating, we didn't let it get to us and you should try not to let it get to you either.

We had issues with family as well, but I made it pretty clear that I would have none of that to my wedding. If they didn't come and acted like a grown-up, I would disown THEM. Tell your family to get their shit together and start behaving. If they include YOU in their crap, tell them to stay away. You don't need people that are that petty in your life.

Being disowned was all I had to do to get out of going to my sister's wedding??? Should have posted this FML back in January.

This is why a small or personal private wedding is better than paying so much dang money for a big show

Sounds like they need to grow up. Plus, this day is about you, not them and their petty squabbles. They should be there for you, and at least put their bullshit aside for your day.

I'm so sorry. Don't let it go to waste. Invite friends or other family to enjoy the room. Hope everything turns out alright
