what would you do or how would you feel if you where left standing at the alter?

I would feel like I just dodged a bullet, what if you were to marry that loser, what kind of a person does that to someone? Just party with your friends that showed up and be happy you found out now what a dirt bag you were dating.

I would probably be quite embarrassed, but other than that I dont know. I'm glad my husband showed up, I really wanted to marry him.

I read an article about a girl who was dumped not at the altar, but 2 weeks before. Instead of cancelling everything, she went through with the reception, and instead used it as a fund raiser for some cause, the catch was you could only come if you were a woman. Now I thought that was taking some lemons and making some damn good lemonade. She collected so much money that night and it turned out that the groom was the one who had paid for everything, so she wound up raising all this money for a great cause and it didnt cost her a dime of money.

I am not sure how I would feel (hurt and angry, but relieved probably), but i did have a college friend that it happened to and I was at the wedding. You could tell he was obviously hurt, but then he came back to the front of the church...(she left without saying a word ) and talked to everyone. He said that she had decided that she couldn't get married and he said that he was glad she was honest bc he held marriage in the utmost regard and when he did get married, whether it was to her or not, he knew it would be a lifetime commitment. He then asked everyone to stay for the reception, which he and even her family stayed for too, and he also asked that everyone take their gift back on the way out. It actually ended up being a fun reception. They ended up breaking up and he took the honeymoon tickets and went with his brother. He later told me that even though he was hurt and embarrassed at the time, it was the best thing that ever happened to him. He is now happily married to someone else.

I personally would probably be a very happy woman to be left at the alter by myself, rather than marrying the jack@ss and finding out two years later he didnt really love me. :)

I would feel very embarrased!! but then again maybe it wasn't sopposed to be. I rather be left there than marry him and find out that he didn't really love me. And you know that everyhting happens for a reason. I rather be left than to have a disaster marriage.

First of all i would probably be embarrassed but then realize there was a good reason that the marriage didnt take place and you may have been miserable throughout that time anyway

i would feel absolutely devastated and i would probably follow after whoever left me at the alter and figure out why it happened.

I would probably be devastated and feel like someone had died...I would be a physical wreck,,,can't say what I would do to him, but I know that would really damage me emotionally.

my husband did show up to get married... but if he wouldn't have shown up, that would tell me a lot about him and how he would have really felt.

if someone does not show up for a wedding, that is a BIG sign that its not worth pursing. how sad! I would have been heartbroken!

That would be devastating. The guy you love not turning up, it would break all faith i had in him and destroy the relationship. I would also make him pay for everything, I turned up and he couldn't they he can pay for wasting my time.
