Bride reduced to tears as half confirmed wedding guests don't show up

A bride's big day was ruined when more than half of her guests failed to turn up at her wedding reception.

The devastated woman said she had to end the reception early as she and her new husband were confronted by loads of empty tables.

The couple had invited 88 people to celebrate after Gray tied the knot with her partner Nyx, the Daily Star reports.

In a video posted on TikTok she said they were reduced to tears on the day.

She explained: "88 people said yes and not even 40 of them showed up.

"Feeling like that kid that would always be left out right now."

She looked at her watch and panned the camera across the empty hall, adding: "It was supposed to end in an hour.

"Packing up my own wedding early, it's not happening."

Gray had expected a good turn out on the day, with all the RSVPs marked on a spreadsheet and booked a venue big enough to hold the party.

She went on: "Nyx's family immediately left after pictures, my mum didn't say a single word to me until my dad made her.

"I cancelled my dream send-off, cancelled dinner at my favourite place, the DJ felt so bad he made us use the photobooth I hadn't touched and took pictures together.

"Most of these people were my co-workers and they were so excited and were talking to me about it for months."

Viewers felt for Gray, from the US, and some suggested to throw her an alternative wedding with the TikTok community.

One wrote: "Let's have a wedding re-do, we are all coming."

"Just have another wedding with us, we will bring the energy unlike these guys," a second shared and a third noted: "The guests look so bored like, these are not your people.

"You and your spouse deserve people who look happy for bid days like this."
