Bride Plans 10 Months For Wedding That Only Had 5 People Show Up

Oregon couple Kalina and Shane announced their wedding in January and planned a masquerade ball over the next 10 months. They talked about it incessantly! They invited 75 people and had 40 RSVPs saying they were coming, only to open the doors to their reception seeing just five guests.

@kalina_marie_23 This is our entrance to our Masqurade ball. The Masqurade ball that I have talked EXCESSIVELY about for the last 10 months. The same ball that I not only digitally invited over 75 people to. But ALSO spent money to send 25 beautiful invitations out to. FIVE PEOPLE SHOWED UP!!!!!!! Like, are you kidding me!?!? As you see in the video, we enter the venue. And no one is there. The invite said 1pm. My mom messaged me at 1:15 that no one was there. My husband and I finally showed up at 2oclock, to 5 people. In a venue planned for 40. I dreamed that I would walk in to a bunch of people cheering us on. Hooting and hollering for us in celebration……but all you see is a woman trying to hold herself together because she had NO idea how to deal with her venue being almost completely empty. All the wasted food and drinks. All the empty tables and chairs. Every moment of my reception changed to adapt. Did we still make the most of it?? You bet your SWEET @$$ we did. But did this video just take all the good moments and shoot them out of the water for a second, F$&K yea it did 😔 It just makes me think, like, why? What did we do? Am I that bad of a person? What did my husband ever do to deserve any of this? Why couldn’t we matter enough for people to show up? I still have “friends” that haven’t even messaged me to congratulate me or tell me why they didn’t come. It truly makes me sick. I honestly can’t wrap my head around this yet. But 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 ❤️ #FAIL #fyp #whereisthelove ♬ original sound – Sara Lones

“… I dreamed that I would walk in to a bunch of people cheering us on. Hooting and hollering for us in celebration,” “But all you see is a woman trying to hold herself together because she had NO idea how to deal with her venue being almost completely empty.”

They spent $3000 dollars as she lamented about the wasted food and drink. And she’s also shocked that no one had reached out to explain their absence, or even congratulate them. In the caption to her viral video she wrote: “It just makes me think, like, why? What did we do? Am I that bad of a person? What did my husband ever do to deserve any of this? Why couldn’t we matter enough for people to show up?” But they made the most of it with those who DID show up!

Here’s where this turns into a #FeelGood… there has been an outpouring of support in the comments! One comment that got over 24,000 likes “Let’s do it over. This time invite me and the rest of us. We’ll show up and out. I love you beautiful and congratulations!!” Another commentor said this: “Mama told me something that stuck with me. “Id rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies” The VALUE of those 4 friends are way higher. Your quarters were all there 🥺💕 Congratulations beautiful couple!”
