I would be disappointed in her shoes, but I would never share that on facebook. A) it's rude and tacky B) If any of those people had a legit reason for not going when they said they would, they will probably no longer be her friends after she publicly shamed them.

It bodes well for her marriage that her attention was so NOT on the person waiting for her at the end of the aisle. Twat.
Seriously. I don't remember anything about walking down the aisle except my grandpa (who was walking me down the aisle) telling me to slow down because I was so excited I practically ran. I maybe would have noticed at the reception, but definitely not at the ceremony.
That is not at all what I was thinking about walking down the aisle. At the reception when there was an entire table of people missing to the tune of $700? Sure! But in the end, you're still married! Isn't that the point?
I had no idea how many people were in church until I saw the pictures later.
Did she stop and count?!? Maybe some came to the wedding and couldn't go to the reception. This is a teaching moment that she missed: The world, it's doesn't revolve around YOU!!
I had the same thing happen. A friend of mine that I thought was close, RSVP'd to the wedding but her and her family didn't show. I didn't out her on FB but after a week of her not contacting me to give me a reason why, I defriended her. She had a history of being flaky. I wasn't that surprised but it still hurt.
I have no idea if anyone didn't show up for my wedding. One of my cousins skipped my sister's wedding because of a sore elbow. And one of my DH's cousin brought a young child against my MIL' 's wished - lol. I had such a ball! I couldn't imagine being so bitter that THIS would be my post a day later.
How did she know it was exactly 23 people? Did she stop mid-aisle, pull out her RSVP list and count?
I honestly don't remember if/how many no-shows I had at my wedding. The most important people were there. And for those that didn't show up...too bad for them because the wedding was fun!
I wonder too if it was a small wedding and this meant half the guests didn't show or something. I can see being disappointed either way. I wouldn't post it on Facebook though. And $27/plate is cheap for a wedding but I'd still be annoyed at wasting $600 or so.

Wow--that sucks that so many people didn't show up but she is super inappropriate to put that on FB.
Also, my whole wedding was a blur, in a happy good way. I remember seeing certain people as I walked down the aisle but even during the reception I would not have noticed people that didn't show up. I was too busy having fun with the ones that did!
Kind of sad that THAT is what she was thinking about as she walked down the aisle.

Well, I agree that bride was incredibly rude and tacky to post about it on Facebook. But, expecting guests to show up when they said they would show up is a symptom of thinking the world revolves around you?
I went to a friend's wedding and 57 or 58 people didn't show up. They had table set for 8 so it was a lot of empty tables and the bride's father was livid. If it bothered the bride she never said a word to me but I remember how angry her dad was.
Edit: the no-shows were mostly college friends of the groom which enraged the bride's dad even more. My H was in the wedding, he and the groom were roommates until we got married and the groom was in our wedding too. Mostly it was young, irresponsible guys that RSVP'd and then bailed.

That is terrible. I can't imagine almost 60 no shows.

Oh man. This sucks. I'd be pissed about the $$$ and hurt that this many people bailed.

My cousin would do this.
She once sent out an email to about 10 people (me included) thanking those that came to see her daughter in a play and chastising those that didn't show up (me and a few others). She paid $15 a ticket for all of us to come and it was rude of us to not show up. Mind you, I had no idea what she was talking about because I never got an invite. So I responded and told her it was tacky to call us out and not at all our fault if she bought [however many] tickets before making sure we, were not only coming, but even knew about it.
