…we saw that only 17 people gave us actual gifts.
The rest? Empty envelopes. No cash. No cards. Nothing.

My husband lost it. “We spent $70,000 for these people?! We’re in debt for this?!”

I tried to calm him down, but honestly… I was just as crushed.

We sacrificed vacations, weekends, even postponed starting a family, all to throw this “perfect” wedding. And in the end, it felt like no one cared.

Now, he blames me for wanting a big wedding. I blame him for the guest list full of people who clearly didn’t value us.

And worst of all? We can’t afford the honeymoon—or therapy.

So yeah… dream wedding? More like a nightmare wake-up call.
