Today, 60 guests for my wedding were supposed to arrive to the Bahamas. The first and only hurricane of the season decided to crash my wedding, stranding my mom, maid of honor and best man. No one will be able to attend my wedding, except the other drunken hotel guests. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, my fiancée told me she can't marry me. Our wedding day is tomorrow and around 20 of our 180 guests attending have travelled half way around the world just for the occasion. FML
Today, it was my wedding. Everyone showed up… except my fiancé. FML
Today, my maid of honor, who offered to take care of my wedding dress before the D-Day, left it near her open window during heavy rain. My dress is now ruined, and she's backed out due to stress. I'm supposed to be getting married tomorrow. FML
Today, my wife and I had to cancel our family vacation to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas that we had planned for almost two years and spent thousands on, because our son tripped over his suitcase and dislocated his ankle as we were leaving to go to the airport. FML
Today, I found out that I have to reschedule my upcoming honeymoon because my office will be understaffed that week, due to the boss going on vacation right after my wedding. Oh, yeah, and he's in my bridal party. FML
Today, it was my wedding day. Everything went great, except that no one showed up. Apparently, the address of the invitation was typed wrong. FML
Today, I was at my sister's wedding. Everything was going flawlessly. That is, until our visibly drunk mom started a punch-up over who got to cut the cake first. FML
Today, I had to cancel my wedding because my fiancé is so hungover from his bachelor party, he's throwing up all over the place, can't stand up straight and is calling me by the stripper's name he met yesterday night. FML
Today, I was told by one of my bridesmaids that she can't afford the travel costs to get to my wedding, after telling me that she didn't need me to organize alternate free travel for her. I'm getting married in less than two weeks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Gotta say, weddings are planned months in advance before these things can be foreseen.

These things happen. All you can do is try to find a way to make the most of a bad situation.

Must suck a whole lot! On the other hand, thinking "Oh noes my wedding is ruined" when a friggin tornado which is likely to at least destroy homes of people arrives is sort of self centred.

Dude, hurricanes and tornadoes are completely different things :P

See OP, this is why you really shouldn't be practising for your Rain Dance classes in the tropical regions, it always ends in tears, believe me, I know :P

Sorry to hear, that really sucks. Maybe when you get back you could have a little celebration with the family just so they can be apart of it.

It's unknown to me how bad or how close that hurricane is, but if there was any conceivable chance that your mother and the rest of the guests are in any danger (bc, they are stranded), wouldn't you want to postpone the wedding anyway? since you didn't mention any casualties, im assuming no one is hurt, so be grateful for that at least.

I think when OP is saying "stranded" she means on the mainland. Otherwise they would be in the Bahamas with her.

You scheduled a wedding in the tropics at the tail end of hurricane season and want sympathy? The Problem with society is people pass blame onto anything and everyone but themselves.

I thought I was the only one who noticed it too. I live in Hawaii, and I know a lot of tourist come here during the winter thinking it'll be nice, warm, sunny, and most importantly.. DRY. Instead it's wet, humid, and rainy. Not exactly a good place to plan a huge event such as a wedding. And for those In need of me to elaborate why I mentioned Hawaii is because Hawaii and the Bahamas are seen as a 'paradise', and that both are seen as spectacular, dry, warm places. But not everyone realizes that they too endure uncomfortable weather.

Been through a hurricane... They can miss or hit within 24 hours notice, how you gonna plan a wedding around 24 hours... In reason what are the odds???

Also destination weddings are rather expensive for any of your guests. I say have the wedding in a nice place close to home and then go on an expensive honeymoon wherever you want.
