The flight for my wedding was cancelled the day before.

Destination weddings can be a bit tricky, don't you think? I mean, sure, they're a dream for many couples, but they can also create some challenges. For one, it's not always easy for guests on a tight budget to attend, and there's always the fear of unexpected travel mishaps. And unfortunately, one bride had to experience this fear come to life just before her big day.

The bride, Emma Degerstedt, had planned a beautiful wedding in Florida, but the day before she was supposed to fly out from New York, she received some bad news. Her flight had been cancelled by United Airlines. Cue the panic! In a viral TikTok video, Emma shared her distress with the world, garnering over 55.7K likes and 4,000 comments.

As if things weren't stressful enough, the options United Airlines gave her for alternative flights weren't exactly ideal. Not only were they not guaranteed, but they also meant that she and her soon-to-be husband wouldn't even be sitting next to each other. And on top of that, the flight was at 6:00am, which is definitely not an ideal time for a wedding day.

But Emma wasn't the only one feeling the stress. Some people in the comments section were not very sympathetic, with some even criticizing her for not leaving earlier. But others had more practical solutions, like standing in line with her wedding dress to increase her chances of getting on a standby flight.

In a subsequent TikTok video, Emma revealed the reason behind her flight cancellation. Apparently, her plane was one of 80 that had been recalled for maintenance following the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 incident. Luckily, the couple managed to book a different flight with a different airline to a different airport, and they made it just in time for their wedding.

Speaking of weddings, another couple faced a different kind of challenge when planning their dream destination wedding in Italy. The groom, Michael, asked for advice from The Agency agony aunt Alison Rios McCrone about whether or not it was fair for them to ask their guests to pay for their own flights, accommodation, and other expenses for the four-day celebration.

Some people thought it was unfair, but the couple pointed out that it was not cheap for them either. And in the end, they were able to celebrate with their loved ones in beautiful Italy. But not without a bit of drama, as the bride-to-be clarified some confusion about her flight situation in the comments section.

Despite the challenges they faced, both couples were able to make it to their dream weddings. And that's what matters in the end, right? Do you have a similar story to share? Let us know! We'd love to hear from you.
