When Kalina Marie, an Oregon bride, opened the doors for her wedding ceremony on November 2, her heart broke. Instead of seats full of friends and family, applause, and celebration, she found nothing but an empty room.
“Five people showed up. Are you kidding me?” she wrote in disbelief on a TikTok post uploaded last Wednesday (November 6). She explained to her followers that she had invited more than 75 people over the internet, and 25 others were personally asked to attend.
“I dreamed I would walk into 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 almost completely empty venue,” she continued.
