新娘卡莉娜·瑪麗（Kalina Marie）在TikTok發布一則影片表示：「準備一場最美麗的婚禮，卻迎來的是場地空蕩的門口。」在一場原定邀請超過75位賓客參加的婚禮中，卡莉娜卻面對僅有5位來賓到場的場面。這原本是預計容納40人的盛大婚宴。儘管卡莉娜已付出心力，透過各種方式向親朋好友發出誠摯邀請，但到場的卻是少數幾個人。
根據卡莉娜在TikTok影片中的描述，活動原定於下午1點開始，但到達現場的時間卻發現，大多數的受邀者並未出現。在1點15分，卡莉娜母親發來訊息告訴她，現場並無其他來賓。儘管如此，卡莉娜和她的丈夫依然堅持在2點鐘打開會場大門，即使場地幾乎所有座位和桌子都是空的。
儘管局面尷尬，卡莉娜依然在影片展現笑容，她努力調整心情應對這情況。影片中可看到她卡莉與她的丈夫和幾位親友努力完成此項儀式。她坦言，儘管場面令人失望，但仍不忘對參加者表達感激，並表示與最親近的人度過的時光依然珍貴。
活動的食物和飲料都被浪費，空蕩的桌椅，孤零零的裝飾，讓原本預定的歡樂場景變得格外冷清。卡莉娜思考為什麼會出現這樣的情況，並感到困惑與不解。她提到，許多人未能參加的原因至今無法得到解釋，也有些朋友甚至未向她發送祝福或解釋缺席的原因，這讓她感到失望。
然而，儘管如此，卡莉娜仍然感激親友和丈夫，並且特別感謝在她最需要的時候給予支持的家人。
網友看見影片後紛紛留言送上祝福，安慰卡莉娜並表示心疼，「這讓我心疼你」、「你看起來真漂亮！現在你有了一個全新的家庭支持你。」、「重來一次。這次邀請我和我們其他人，我們會出現」、「我們都看著你走進來」、「女孩！我們都在這裡為你歡呼雀躍」
@kalina_marie_23 This is our entrance to our Masqurade ball. The Masqurade ball that I have talked EXCESSIVELY about for the last 10 months. The same ball that I not only digitally invited over 75 people to. But ALSO spent money to send 25 beautiful invitations out to. FIVE PEOPLE SHOWED UP!!!!!!! Like, are you kidding me!?!? As you see in the video, we enter the venue. And no one is there. The invite said 1pm. My mom messaged me at 1:15 that no one was there. My husband and I finally showed up at 2oclock, to 5 people. In a venue planned for 40. I dreamed that I would walk in to a bunch of people cheering us on. Hooting and hollering for us in celebration……but all you see is a woman trying to hold herself together because she had NO idea how to deal with her venue being almost completely empty. All the wasted food and drinks. All the empty tables and chairs. Every moment of my reception changed to adapt. Did we still make the most of it?? You bet your SWEET @$$ we did. But did this video just take all the good moments and shoot them out of the water for a second, F$&K yea it did 😔 It just makes me think, like, why? What did we do? Am I that bad of a person? What did my husband ever do to deserve any of this? Why couldn’t we matter enough for people to show up? I still have “friends” that haven’t even messaged me to congratulate me or tell me why they didn’t come. It truly makes me sick. I honestly can’t wrap my head around this yet. But all I know is, I have my man. My baby. And family that shows up when I need them. And for that, I will be thankful ❤️ #FAIL #fyp #whereisthelove ♬ original sound - Sara Lones
