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

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 must be very hard for you! Im sorry you have to go through this especially on your big day!

I know it can be hard not give it attention but if they prefer doing that than being at your wedding, it's not your fault, just continue with your plans because at the end is your special day.

I am sorry OP. They are very selfish. They could have come and behave because of you but I guess your family members are assholes.

I'm sorry OP. Your family shouldn't be so petty. Your wedding should be enough reason to at least tolerate each other for one friken day.

This is where you need to tell them that the ones who truly love and care for you will put their differences aside for a day to celebrate you and your soon to be husband. If they can't do that then it shows who cares for you. You shouldn't even be taking your time to listen to them cry about it when you have enough going on, if they can't care for you, show them tough love back.

My close friend is in a similar situation, I'm very disappointed for her that her relatives can't find the ability to be civil for a few hours on her behalf. I'm disappointed for you too! I hope they've offered to cover your costs, it's the least they can do. I hope you have a lovely time at your wedding regardless.

It's called cancel for a reason... Boohoo get over it

Wow, I'm sorry, OP. The next time one of them calls up sobbing, you need to make it clear that unless they manage to put their differences aside, come to your wedding, and behave in a civilized fashion, you don't want to hear their bullshit. Oh, and since you paid for the room in advance, you need however much it is for their room if they aren't coming.
