Mass no-show: The bride whose empty wedding video went viral on social media is now deleting her friends
After her wedding video featuring an empty reception went viral, Kalina Marie reflected on her emotional experience with a mass no-show. While grieving, she chose to appreciate those who did attend and reassess relationships going forward.

Kalina Marie made the decision to inform her followers of the events leading up to the day after viewers conjectured that there must be more to the story and asked how it could have reached that point without her knowledge, as quoted in a report by The New York Post.
The pandemic prevented her and her husband, who have been together for nine years, from getting married when they had planned to after they became engaged in 2019.

Marie announced their engagement in October and has been blabbing about it on Facebook for the past 10 months. She received 40 RSVPs, but only received 20 people who confirmed their attendance the week before.
Marie is left with the question of why people weren't there, as she hasn't received many messages explaining why people weren't there or giving excuses.
Marie is still a little embarrassed and moving through the stages of grief after the mass no-show. When asked for a re-do, she agreed but said her husband is extremely introverted and is also dealing with residual anger.
Many of his family members didn't show up as well. One of the saddest parts about the whole thing is that she didn't receive any cards from people.
Marie's original video, which has now reached eight million views, shows the heartbreaking moment the couple entered their empty reception hall. They walked alongside their son and tried to come to terms with what had happened.
Marie said she dreamed that she would walk into a bunch of people hooting and hollering for them. However, she ended up having to hold herself together because she had no idea how to deal with her venue being almost completely empty.
Despite the disappointing turnout, she said she wasn't going to let her no-show guests ruin her special day. She explained that they still made the most of it, sharing clips from the dancefloor with the few people who did show up and a sweet clip of her and her husband having their first dance.
