Re: Final head count before and after....

tell me about it. And FH and I DO NOT know that many people! Between the two of us, with friends and co-workers, we had less than 100 on our list.

This is what I like to call a BIG JEWISH WEDDING where 98% of the guests are 'wedding relatives' Those people that you only see at a wedding and have no idea who they are.

well one couple called the day before to advise us that they had to go to a funeral in canada and they were so sorry they weren't able to attend any longer.

the other 4 people just never showed up. I found later that one guy was sick, so he and his FW didn't come..... I never found out about the remaining 2.
