Today, I had my first job as a wedding planner. I'd spent a year making sure everything was right. After the wedding my friend comforted me by saying, "You had to have known it wasn't going to be perfect." I knew that it wouldn't be perfect, but I had expected the groom to at least show up. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, after over a month of planning, my friend had to cancel her first night out in over a year. Why? Because her "perfect" fiancé didn't want to, and started sulking when she tried to, so decided to put off letting her go out for a few more months. Apparently, it's my fault this happens. FML
Today, it was my wedding. Everyone showed up… except my fiancé. FML
Today, after I spent months assisting my 'work bestie' with planning/arranging her "Surprise!" wedding, Surprise! I wasn't invited. FML
Today, I congratulated a bride standing in front of a church in a white dress. Turns out she'd been stood up at the altar. She thrashed me with her bouquet. FML
Today, I had to sit through the wedding of my best friend and the love of my life, and pretend to be happy for them. FML
Today, I showed up to my mate's wedding. There was a board for someone's 100th birthday instead. I screwed up the dates and the wedding was yesterday. FML
Today, it was my wedding day. I gave a speech about the first time my wife and I met. I said I knew she was the perfect woman for me and it was love at first sight. I looked to my right as she stormed off and then realized I had told a story about my ex-girlfriend who was sitting in the crowd. FML
Today, I was invited to a friend's wedding. When I got there, I was surprised to see that it was a surprise wedding, meaning I wasn’t invited at all. I stood there awkwardly for an hour, until the bride's mother finally noticed me and whispered, "You're not on the guest list, are you?" FML
Today, I gave a speech at my friend’s wedding. I spent weeks perfecting it, making sure it was funny but heartfelt. When I finished, I dropped the mic dramatically. It bounced off the table, hit the best man in the face, and the cable knocked his drink all over the bride’s dress. FML

Surely that's not your fault. And if a groom leaves his bride at the altar in front of everyone, instead of honestly discussing things face to face - who would want to be married to a man like that anyway?

You're day could've have been worse. At least you weren't the bride.

Collect the cheque, get a written recommendation and move on. Just hope the groom doesn't put down 'HATED EVERYTHING ABOUT THE WEDDING' on the card. Just kidding. He's probably in hiding anyway.

Wow, that sucks OP, but you have to remember that your not responsible for other people's love lives, or in this case, acts of cowardice. I can't promise it'll get better, but I bet that wedding was gorgeous with or without him!

Don't feel bad, you did your job, the groom didn't. He should've talked to his fiancé instead of ditching her.

Well, you could always go the route of becoming a marriage therapist considering the rate of divorce these days...

That's not really your fault. But it is a bad thing to experience when it's your first wedding.

Some guys amaze, and not in a good way. You're not up for the wedding? Then break up with her BEFORE it. Don't leave her on the alter, crushing her her heart, embarrassing her and her family, and making all the guests travel in vain.

Groom's the douche, yes, but that doesn't mean you did a bad job planning the wedding.
