How to support my H2B missing his family?

My Fiance and I are due to get married in just over a month (so excited). However, he has had a thread of family problems and now only his mum will be attending our wedding. His brother booked a holiday on the weekend of our wedding with his family and his Dad arranged an appointment with his builders he can't get out of. This has all been last minute and my Fiance has been feeling depressed about only one member of his family attending our wedding when they've known about it for over a year. I don't know what to say to him so console him but he is obviously hurt by it. Does anyone have any advice? Or been in a similar situation? I know weddings can be stressful for everyone but I want him to look forward to it and not feel sad that certain people won't be there. TIAx

Other than my dad, my family (quite a few of them) either can’t or won’t attend.
I’m focusing on the people who are coming. It means my half of the guest list can be populated by friends.
It’s hard and it hurts, particularly are my DF is inviting his family only for his guests, but there’s not much that you can say.

I’m determined to just focus on having fun on the day.
Nothing my DF can say to me to make it better……
