Everything....
Stressed out!

I've been stressing a bit these last few days. Were at about 4 mos left to our wedding & still owe an outrageous amount. My FH keeps trying to calm me down & tells me not to let it get to me but i say "i have to care because if i dont no one else will!!"

Then today I get told that I will not be getting a raise. My last raise was April 09. Seriously??? ugghhh! Just ruined my day & i was actually having a good & productive Monday. Im fighting for it & hoping to get some news sometime this week about getting some kind of raise. Anything!!

My FH is already working waaayyy too much! Idk what else to do to make sure we come up with the money for the wedding. We have an option but im really crossing my fingers that we dont have to go that way.

Yikes! Idk what we got ourselves into! Never did I think planning a wedding on our own would be this hard. We have some help but others have their own personal expenses & if they help us it wont be til the day gets closer & we are in need of any money help NOW. Theres so many things I wish we would of gone a different route but there's not much we can do by now. Any changes means losing deposits & we cant afford that.

Then my FH's truck is acting up, the transmission went out!! not the best time to mess up! We also have a freakin cruise that we decided long ago to book with a group of friends that now we regret. At the moment it sounded like fun but we need to save every penny & that is not helping. Just crossing fingers & will be praying to GOD to give me the patience & help us get through this without going crazy. I cant wait for the day to arrive & take a HUGE relief off our shoulders.

Sorry just had to VENT!!! =/

Aw, I'm sorry you have to be so stressed over the money. It sucks to be the responsible one sometimes...I'm the one budgeting all of the money for the wedding, so I definitely know where you're coming from here. Just keep your head up and keep praying!

So sorry to hear about all this.  I'd like to offer a bit of unsolicited advice.  My husband and I were extremely fortunate enough to be able to pay cash ($19K) for everything at our wedding back in October.  After it was all over, everyone has asked me, "Well, was it all worth it?".  My answer has been, "Yes, but only because it was all paid for."  It was the most wonderful day of my life, and I don't regret a penny we spent - but it all went by so quickly - and then to have to pay for it for the next 5-10 years!!!  I would just hate to begin married life with this huge debt hanging over us.  I said that from the very beginning.  (That's the accountant in me!)  And even though we both wanted something very elegant and nice, if we could not have afforded it, a backyard BBQ would have been just fine.  You have to remember what this day really means.  Now, speaking from an accounting point-of-view, even if you had to lose say a $500 deposit, that's still less expensive than say the $5,000 you'll pay at the venue.  Sometimes it's cheaper to cut your losses even if it means losing a deposit.  Good luck to you & I'm sure everything will work out.
