Wedding Without Friends??

Is anyone else going through this? I have absolutely no friends. It's ok, just the way it is. Anyway, because of this, I won't have any at my wedding. It's kind of a tad bit sad, but like I said, it's just the way it is.

Am I the only one not having any friends at their weding? Just curious.

We had 100 guests. I invited old friends... My sisters were there and I asked them to be my bridesmaids and I invited my friend visiting from where I live to be my MOH. I was at her daughters birth and I love her, but we never spend time together accept in social circles... Even though we had 100 guests, I felt like I had no friends. I did not have a Bridal Shower. I was not close to my sisters at the time. I knew I would be again someday... I think we go through fazes in our lives where we have friends and we do not. Family and old friends were our guests. Oh and my husband seems to have a lot of good old friends...

Sunset..I'm not having a bridal shower either. I literally have not had any friends since 2001. Even though I have dealt with it and have come to grips with the fact that this is just the way things are, it would be nice to have some friends enjoy this special day.

I was a bit sad too.. I was happy for my husbands friends, they were all so nice. I really wanted a GF to share in getting ready and the support of being close to some one besides my love on that day. I wished my sisters and I were closer at the time. My mom did so much she was too busy to be by my side. I wish I had an instant best friend to send you. I know I really wanted that. I never spoke of it to anyone. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your story with me as well.

i used to be such the social butterfly but in the last few years with a crazy school schedual then graduating then getting enageged and moving further away it seems like I have no friends too.  But I invited old friends who I still keep in touch with.

I'm also not having any friends at my wedding.  Everyone is either a friend or family member of my FI.  There will only be 2 neighbors that have seen me grow up that will be there.  Planning this wedding has been bittersweet because I really don't have a girlfriend to share it with.  When I went dress shopping I went with my FMIL and it wasn't as much fun.  So I understand you totally!

I am so glad that you decided to post this. I am kind of in the same situation. I have freinds but they are "work" freinds, and while I do value them I don't really see them a whole lot outside of work. I don't have a sister or a close female freind. Because we are only having 30 guests at our wedding, and because of the size of his family, I was unable to invite any of my work freinds.

I do have a neighbor coming and a few other people that have been freinds of my parents, and as I got older mine, for a really long time (15+ years) but they are my parents age. There are some people our age coming, but they are his cousins and not people I grew up with or are totally close to.

I went dress shopping with my mom and dad and I was soooo glad they were there - plus because I lack a true "girlfreind" my mom and I have had a chance to start working through some of our weirdness with each other - so really it's been good to have to rely on her.

yep, I am with you. I have a few close friends, but I have always been a "best friend" person, not a large group (I usually had a best friend who was part of a large group so I was by association) I was just never willing to make the effort.... FI on the other hand, has TONS of friends (all on the East Cost though sadly). I was so sad looking at our part of the guest list, he has like 2/3 of the people on it and he has a B list. My three closest friends are bridesmaids and after them, there is a huge drop off... ok getting sad thinking about it :-(

BUT, my extended family is big, so I have never felt like there were not enough people in my life. Just remember, you have the man of your dreams, he is you best friend, so you do have friends at the wedding :-)

Love!

Thank you all for sharing. At least I know I am not in this alone.

It is also sad that there were a few people that I thought I was getting close with and making friends with. Some people who I thought that maybe I could invite to the wedding if our friendships progressed, but lately, I never hear from them. They will communicate with each other frequently, but not with me. Oh well, I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Anywhoo, thanks ladies. Like I said, at least I know I am not alone in this.

Happy Planning everyone!!! :0)
