Hello everyone!
FH and I have been engaged for 2 months and have been trying to discuss when and where to get married, etc. We sort of agreed of February 2019 and so that’s the date I have been telling everyone. I have a terrible relationship with my family and so they can’t help financially and I won’t ask them. FHs family wanted to help and wrote him a check for our venue. Also I went dress shopping early and surprisingly found my dress and FMIL paid for it for me as a gift. She is like my own mother and it was very sweet of her.
However, we have no other money. We calculated needing another $4-5k for catering, flowers, photography, etc at the minimum and we just don’t have that money. I really don’t want to take out a loan as both of us already have car, rent, and school to pay for as is.
So my dilemma is that I have an expensive dress and no wedding! The options I have thought of is just prolonging the wedding for years (3-4 years maybe, I have no idea) or wearing the dress to a courthouse wedding and skip spending the money. Does anyone have any ideas? I wanted to hear others opinions because I feel like I may be being dramatic. It’s just upsetting that I had a date in mind and have already contacted vendors using that date. I would have to cancel my upcoming tours and consults.
