Kalina Marie y Shane, una pareja estadounidense que había planeado su boda durante años, se llevaron una amarga sorpresa al encontrar su salón de recepción vacío, sin la presencia de los invitados que esperaban. A través de un video en TikTok, Kalina mostró la escena desoladora del salón decorado con temática de baile de máscaras, un detalle que había organizado con entusiasmo por diez meses.
La pareja había invitado a 75 personas y envió invitaciones especiales a 25 de ellas. Sin embargo, al llegar al salón, solo cinco personas acudieron. Kalina intentó retrasar su entrada, con la esperanza de que más personas llegaran, pero finalmente se enfrentaron a un salón casi vacío, que convirtió su sueño en un momento de tristeza y reflexión sobre la importancia de la compañía en su gran día.
@kalina_marie_23 This is our entrance to our Masqurade ball. The Masqurade ball that I have talked EXCESSIVELY about for the last 10 months. The same ball that I not only digitally invited over 75 people to. But ALSO spent money to send 25 beautiful invitations out to. FIVE PEOPLE SHOWED UP!!!!!!! Like, are you kidding me!?!? As you see in the video, we enter the venue. And no one is there. The invite said 1pm. My mom messaged me at 1:15 that no one was there. My husband and I finally showed up at 2oclock, to 5 people. In a venue planned for 40. I dreamed that I would walk in to 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 venue being almost completely empty. All the wasted food and drinks. All the empty tables and chairs. Every moment of my reception changed to adapt. Did we still make the most of it?? You bet your SWEET @$$ we did. But did this video just take all the good moments and shoot them out of the water for a second, F$&K yea it did 😔 It just makes me think, like, why? What did we do? Am I that bad of a person? What did my husband ever do to deserve any of this? Why couldn’t we matter enough for people to show up? I still have “friends” that haven’t even messaged me to congratulate me or tell me why they didn’t come. It truly makes me sick. I honestly can’t wrap my head around this yet. But all I know is, I have my man. My baby. And family that shows up when I need them. And for that, I will be thankful ❤️ #FAIL #fyp #whereisthelove ♬ original sound - Sara Lones
