A devastated couple spent their wedding day in tears after more than half of the guests who said they'd go to the celebration didn't show up. Gray Narvaez-Dragion documented their disappointment over the day on TikTok, where other users have been quick to offer an outpouring of love and support support to Gray, 18, and their partner Nyx.
She posted a heart breaking clip which has been viewed more than eight million times on the platform, reports The Daily Mirror. The newlywed explained: "88 people said yes... not even 40 showed up."
In the video a nearly-empty function room filled could be seen, which had been filled with tables and decorated in anticipation of the guests who never showed up. Gray said: "We cancelled our sparkler send off, private dance, dinner… cut entire reception short.
"Been in tears for hours over this." In a response to the stunned viewers, she also shared a number of follow-up videos showing all of the RSVPs that the newlyweds had received and their response to the disappointing news.
One video which shows Gray with tear-stained make-up included the caption: "We literally sat in the empty ceremony room together and cried." In another comment, the newlywed added: "I spent so much trying to make this enjoyable for everyone.
"I have magnets and soap gifts made for everyone… and I have so much left. Nyx made spell jars and we were up until 2:30 this morning trying to make this enjoyable for everyone.
"Most of my money was spent on things for the guests… and almost no one showed. Looking at our magnets makes me bawl… I can’t even use my custom made soap samples because that makes me cry too. Why didn’t they show up? :( I spent so much f*****g time trying to make everyone feel included."
Viewers were quick to try and console the newlywed with supportive comments. One wrote: "It was a beautiful ceremony and those didn’t show up it's there (sic) lost."
Someone else commented: "Our table LOVED the soaps and spell jars. our lil trinkets <3 ill take more they're so cute and i appreciated even having lil gifts for coming!"
Another comment stated: "So blessed to be apart if this day for you, you two are so strong always have been always will be. I love you so much. was an honor standing by you."
A bridesmaid also replied: "I love you so so much both you and nyx deserve the whole world."
