And so when I take that into consideration, the fact that they had to rent a venue that could only hold a certain number of people, and you look out and you realize that about five to six of those seats are empty, and then we go to the reception. We know that the reception, when you're paying a caterer, you're paying a caterer for a certain number of people that they're going to feed. You're getting a wedding cake to feed a certain number of people

Hi, Tanya. Well, I gotta say that I also get it. I understand it, and I would actually promote it because as you said, weddings are very expensive enough. So just people that doesn't bother to show up, even without especially those ones without notice, it is just a lack of respect for being invited. And as you said, the wedding invites are very selective. The groom and the bride are very selective with whom they are going to invite because they are very expensive

And so it can be pretty expensive to have a wedding and so to look out and see people not there, you know what I mean? Now, you mentioned nine people. I've been at weddings and I was at a wedding and I've had like four or five tables empty and each table set at least a minimum of six people. So that's like 30 people that didn't show up. And so that's quite a bit of money to have paid out and people not showed up

But I think on their invitation, then they would need to make that known that, hey, we want to know if you're really going to be there and if you are really committing, then you really need to be there. And if you're not, understand that you will be receiving a bill if you don't show up. You have so many out, like you have a 24 hours, 48 hours, whatever time before you're going to be charged for this seat

You. Good morning. My funny story for this is my daughter got married a year ago, June, and she was complaining that we had to pay so much down for the catering and then had to pay more on that day of the wedding. Actually, like the evening of it was an afternoon reception and everything. Then we went out to dinner later and she told me, oh, by the way, you still owe whatever it was $400 or whatever it was

Because it's not about them, it's about me, I'm not going to be upset if they choose not to come. They have their own reasons in life, we tend to focus on the wrong things. So instead of them having a lovely wedding and being happy about the wedding that they had, the dress that she wore, the tuxedo that he had, the places that they were, their honeymoon, they're worried about getting angry at people who had the right to make their own decision

There are going to be some folks who won't show up. I went to a wedding last year and a couple didn't show up. And the reason why I knew they didn't show up was because they were at my table. And so those two seats were empty because this couple didn't show up. Now, whether they called ahead of time and canceled, I don't know, or if they just did not show

As you said, four or five tables of people that didn't show up. That's a really noticeable amount. And it's very disheartening, the bride and groom to look out there and see all these empty tables. Yes, we thank God for the ones that showed, but it's also hurtful to look out there and see 30 or 40 folks that did not show up. And so I totally understand where they're coming from

Maybe that's when they got into their feelings and decided on their honeymoon or something. When we get back, we're sending all these jokers a bill because they ain't show up. We going to send them all a bill
Tanya Coles
@MsColes77 · 2:57
So, yeah, I totally agree with that. And one $200 for catering is not bad at all. That's like really good money for catering. So, yes, I'm glad that everything worked out in the end, but I think that every bride gets a little unhappy on their wedding day because it seems like there's something that doesn't turn out the way you want it

You pray that the wedding is just so amazing that you don't even care who was there, who wasn't there. Like, I didn't even notice that you weren't there because I was just caught up in the beauty of that moment and that day that I wasn't even worried about who was or who wasn't there. But apparently, girl, they were keeping tabs and they decided when they got back home, they was going to send out some invoices

Again, the wedding is between two people, not the congregation or not the people in the audience. And we need to know what happened. That may be I'm concerned about you the person first. Right. Not that you weren't present at my special day. I really wish somebody would send me something like that. I would rip it up and mail it back to them. Like, you got to be joking. And then you run the risk, or creating that risk between people

Thank you for inviting me to this. Well, you know, weddings. Larie so expensive. I mean, with me just getting married, just having a wedding in February, it costs so much money for the food. And the venue, of course, was really nice
