I might have to cancel...

First Anniversary
in Wedding Woes
I have less than two months until my fiance and I are supposed to be getting married. I have paid over $2000 on deposits for all my vendors. All deposits are non refundable. My fiance lost his job a month ago, and I have been trying to come up with money on my own, but since he lost his job, I am also trying to cover everyday living expenses. I just don't have enough. I tried to get a loan through a bank, but was told that I don't make enough money to justify a loan. Our families are not financially able to help us out either. Any suggestions on us getting married? or do we have to cancel? I am just not sure what to do....

    Have you discussed the issue with your vendors?  Let them know the situation and see if they'll work with you to change packages, etc. to lower your costs.

    1.  Contact your vendors immediately and explain your problem.  They may be very understanding.

    2.  You don't need to spend a lot of money to have a lovely wedding.  My sister was married in a park shelter, and served picnic food for her reception.  It was great!  My own wedding was a church wedding with cake and punch in the fellowship hall.

    You might need to revise your plans, but you don't need to cancel your wedding unless you are hooked into a "wedding vision".

    Get going to those vendors, and best wishes!

    Have you discussed this with your FI? You haven't mentioned his opinion/thoughts on how to address the situation.

    THIS!!!!  Many would rather work with you than have the cancellation - and the sooner the better too!!!!  Remember, you've got to get super flexible to aid in the process, but you won't know until you talk to them...
