Help! I'm changing my whole wedding 2 months before the date!

Natalye, on March 1, 2022 at 3:23 PM Posted in Planning 0 4

Long story short, something happened between my fiance and me. We've worked it out. However, my family has not been as forgiving. My father is no longer paying for the wedding and we can no longer afford our dream wedding. However, we're still wanting to have our wedding. I know things will have to be different, but we're less than 2 months away and I'm starting to panic. Our budget is minimal. I know the most important thing is our MARRIAGE... but I still want to have a memorable wedding/party. Has anyone gone through this? What did you do? How did you survive?

    Can you look into having a microwedding and then going out with friends after?

    I changed my wedding with 4 months to go. I kept all of my vendors except the venue and had to get a new caterer. Maybe you can keep some of the vendors you already booked but try to change venues and have a smaller guest list?


    Only problem is, you might not be able to get any refunds from your original venue.
    It is possible to change your wedding with limited time! I wish you lots of luck ❤️

    Okay I’m sure I’ll get a lot of heat for this, but if your fiancé did something so terrible that your father is now unwilling to pay for the wedding, are you sure it’s still the right move to get married right now? I know you say you’ve worked through things but is it possible that you were quick to rush through a resolution because you knew your wedding was coming up so quick and you wanted it to go on as planned?


    I’m not trying to cause any harm by any means, and obviously if you’re going to go through with it, you will, but in my experience the last time I rushed a past relationship to “prove” that everything was “fixed”, I ended up with a divorce. Just a word of warning.
    You’re riding on A LOT of emotions right now this close to a wedding, just make sure you’re making the right decision for your future and not for the fun party.

    I agree with the last person. Maybe y’all should delay it another couple of months then you’ll be more sure of the status of the relationship and your dad can see the improvement. No need to rush if it’s REAL.
