Sh*t just hit the fan in the planning department and I'm freaking out. UGH.
ETA: Update.
This is essentially what just
happened:
1)
My venue just
imposed a 150 person minimum. I haven’t signed a contract yet, but Mom put down
the deposit. It was dumb, I know. I’m about to use my angry voice on them.
2)
Parents keep
adding to the guest list. Which I guess is fine if we need the 150 minimum.
They get a say if they’re paying, right?
3)
My FI have ¼ of
the money, my parents are giving ¼, FI’s mom is giving ¼ and FI’s dad is giving
¼. Well FI’s mom was taking our ¼ out of
a savings bond FI has set up, even though it’s HIS savings bond and that’s
where our ¼ is coming from. So now in that department, we’re ¼ short. But wait,
FI’s dad can’t come up with his ¼. So now my parents are saying they’ll pay,
don’t worry. But I feel guilty. And
again, this is totally my fault because I know I shouldn’t depend on money that
I don’t have in hand.
4)
I’m freaking the
eff out and all everyone is saying is “calm down.” I CANT CALM DOWN.
I know this is all my fault
and I should know better. But nothing is helping. And I feel like an idiot.
