Oh I doubt it was easy. It's just not very nice to blame the bride. She only knew a few hours before everyone else, and was probably in big panic not knowing what to do. Not a nice way to spend the eve of your wedding day. It was a horrible situation for everyone. At this stage I'd just be thankful the day went ahead and move on from there. Blame won't get anyone anywhere, and it's the start of their wedded life together. I'd leave them to enjoy it best they can if I were in the family.

Wouldn't it have been just as difficult the night before? I think it's terrible blaming the bride, the poor girl was probably in shock and panicking. Also cancelling the whole thing the night before would have been a nightmare altogether. People may have travelled to near the venue/church already. Plus the chances of contacting absolutely everyone to let them know on such short notice would have been very difficult. The families should be showing her a bit of support, not making her feel like crap.

God, I agree. What a nightmare scenario. Can you just imagine? I bet she did what would cause the least amount of disruption and confusion to the most amount of people, by carrying on and arranging an alternative reception. I'd have thought both families would be very upset for the couple and supportive of them, rather than throwing blame around. Would still love to know the exact reason the hotel cancelled though (God, I'm nosey..)

Angel09 my hens party just last weekend was double booked with a wedding in a hotel. We had paid no deposit only had confirmation emails that had been booked 1 year in advance and confirmed the week previous. The hotel was going to put us into a b&b for a lesser amount but when we objected they put us into a better hotel gave us the same package and paid the difference which was 30 euro a head for 21 people. We were only a hens..they made nothing from us and they still did this. The lady from the hotel also rang my sister while we were on the hens to make sure that everything was ok and we were enjoying ourselves. I cant imagine a hotel cancelling a wedding because one person might have caused trouble. The money that they would have made 200x€50 a head the toast the drink bought by the guests not to mention the rooms...sure they could have hired a bouncer and still made an enormous amount of money...not to mention the bad publicity that they would get...dont know something fishy...I would reckon the couple hadnt got the money in the end and wanted to save face.....

Jayus imagine trying to keep that to yourself, she probably thought it was a bad dream.
