Many viewers slammed the guests for being rude, with one person writing: 'If you can't make it to a wedding TELL THE HOSTS - it's ok! They will save money with their caterer if you give notice! Don't lie!'

Another person said the same thing happened to him and after estimating 100 people would show up for his wedding day, only about 30 were in attendance.

Gray explained in the comment section that because so few people showed up for their nuptials, they were forced to cancel their 'sparkler send off, private dance, [the] dinner [and] cut the entire reception short.'

The DJ also 'felt so bad [that] he made us use the photobooth I hadn't touched and took pics together.'
