Kalima explained in a now-viral post:

"This is our entrance to our masqeurade ball. The masqeurade 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. A, and no one is there. The invite said 1 p.m. my mom messaged me at 13:15 that no one was there. My husband and I finally showed up at 2 o'clock to five 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.

Denise Zimba rebuilds her life following divorce: "I was stripped off everything I built"

"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 we did. But did this video just take all the good moments and shoot them out of the water for a second, yes 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 my family that shows up when I need them. And for that, I will be thankful."
