A TikTok video has sparked a big debate after a bride shared her frustration over guests who RSVPed “yes” to her wedding and then did not show up. The bride, Selene, who goes by @slkvalor on TikTok, revealed that out of 205 invited guests, only 89 actually attended. Seventeen of those cancellations came in just the week before the wedding.
According to The Mary Sue, Selene explained that when guests RSVP, money and time are already being spent in anticipation of their presence. While she understood cancellations for serious reasons, like a relative passing away, she was confused by other excuses. These included not being able to find a dog sitter or suddenly realising they could not afford travel after already saying yes.
