I have hit a wall, a money wall. I have been overall fine with the wedding planning. I have had my budget and I have my support financially from family members who want to help. Which I am so grateful for.
This weekend really got me though. The dress consultant didn't respect my budget and so that was blown through. Honestly, I loved the dress but I was willing to walk away because what am I supposed to do? I had someone in the family offer to pay for it and I could pay them back, whenever. That's one thing, but the thing that happened yesterday pushed me overboard. I got a quote from a potential cake baker. I loved their desserts, they were amazing. Well, I don't have the amount of money they wanted for what I needed. So now I need to pick a different caterer
My parents are able to help, but not as much as they want to. My parents are hardworking small business owners who have taken a hit in COVID. I am grateful for whatever they are able to help with. My fiance's family is happy to help. I can't put all of this on them. It's not their wedding and I cannot ask them to pay for everything. It is our wedding and responsibility.
I am at this point where wedding planning is more stressful than enjoyable. I am ready to cancel everything and just elope.
