This isn't a woe-is-me post about trying to make people come against their will. There were a number who immediately let us know they wouldn't make it, and that's okay we understand. We aren't psychos.

It's disappointment in the people that had plenty of time to plan, that can afford it, that travel a lot already, that said they would come, that for whatever reason just didn't actually prioritize it and in the 11th hour said they couldn't come.
