hive,

i am just crushed!  i just found out this morning from my FH that the money we thought we were getting from his credit union, at an incredibly low rate, is a no go!

i planned to write checks tomorrow! i was in the middle of going over contractual terms with our banquet hall when hit with the news!

he wont be able to get that money until he pays off a personal loan with them….quick calculations say the soonest this could be is July.

 ….

there is no available help from parents. my grandmother is contributing $1000 and buying my dress.

 we dont have stellar credit. we have no savings to speak of. i know the sage advice that any rational soul would give would be to table the wedding until we are financially fit to pull one off.

i have grown sooo attached to our November 1st wedding date. its breaking my heart to think that it will be even longer before i can be with my FH. we’ve been long distance now for 6 months. living together before marriage is not an option. and I am currently living at home with my parents and 3 siblings and that is slowly driving me bat sh!t….

i am just sooo hurt. and upset. and anxious. and scared. and every negative emotion that one can think of.

so my first question is: what do you think we should do?

the 2nd question is: how are you paying for your wedding (savings, loans, credit card, mom and dad, ect)
