Kalina Marie wedding no guests story: 5 out of 75 guests show up ...
Wedding days are special. Marking the beginning of a new life journey amidst your friends and family is a memory that most would love to carry with them to the grave.
During the Covid pandemic, many people had to cut down the number of participants to a handful due to the social distancing protocols. Unable to imagine a wedding day sans a gathering, a couple in England reportedly postponed their wedding. This past week, after four long years, they decided to hold their wedding. However, things didn't turn out as expected for them.
Sharing her wedding day experience on the social media platform TikTok, the bride said that only five of the 75 invitees showed up for her wedding. The couple even tried waiting for some time before walking down the aisle in the hope of late arrivals. However, there was no considerable decrease in the number of empty chairs at the reception venue.
It was TikTok user Kalina Marie who couldn't celebrate her wedding the way she imagined due to the lack of guests. “POV: You planned the most beautiful entrance. Just to open the doors to an empty venue,” the text superimposed on her video read.
“This is our entrance to our masquerade ball... FIVE PEOPLE SHOWED UP!!!!!!! Like, are you kidding me!?!? As you see in the video, we enter the venue. And no one is there.,” wrote Kalina Marie said in the TikTok post.
According to British media, Kalina and her boyfriend have been together for nine years and have a four-year-old son. Hoping people were not skipping their wedding but simply late, they delayed their wedding an hour. However, the final strength at the venue remained five including her mother.
“I dreamed that I would walk into a bunch of people cheering us on. Hooting and hollering for us in celebration,” she said. However, the couple did throw a party after walking down the aisle with their son. Minor arrangements were made as they celebrated the day with the available guests, British media reports said. But this couldn't help lot of food and drinks being wasted, they added.
“Did we still make the most of it?? You bet your SWEET a** we did... “All I know is, I have my man. My baby. And family that shows up when I need them. And for that, I will be thankful,” she reportedly jotted.
