Do i give up

Hi Zoey, That is a decision you will need to make together. It has to do with a lot of factors. How big of a wedding are you planning? Are you alright being the sole saver for a while while your fiancé looks for a new job? How much time until the wedding date? Giving up is never the option. Have a conversation and try to work through it. If all else fails there are many ways to get married on a budget and it be just as wonderful. I hope It works out for you!

It really depends. Are you able to afford the wedding you were originally planning, even without income from your future spouse? If the answer is yes, I think proceeding is fine. Even if not, it never hurts to push back the date or have a smaller intimate wedding instead!

I agree with PP that y’all need to sit down and talk about your finances. If your Fw’s career is hard to break into it may be best til hold off for a bit.

Depends on what kind of wedding you wanted to have. You can always scale back but it’s also not the end of the world to postpone either. I postponed my wedding after a car accident since we both couldn’t work, it would’ve been too much work to keep scaling back. Keep your comfort in mind. Will you be comfortable planning a wedding with that added stress or do you guys have a safety net that you can fall back on?

If the date on your profile is right, you have a little over 2 years til you get married... i would keep the date and just maybe make it more of a conversation of looking at vendors and getting an idea of places and vendors you want to check out and then when she becomes employed again you can go into more detail and book some things.

Do you have a venue selected and paid for or at least the deposit put down?

My department was displaced in July.

Since my venue was already paid for, we just kept moving forward.

Im getting married on 9/21.

In my opinion, if you can afford bills and saving for the wedding for now by yourself then you can proceed but the though of that makes me nervous. I don’t know what field he works in so I suppose it depends. My fiancé has the kind of job where he could find a new job and start there by next week and so do I because there is always a job somewhere in the medical field. I know some people say it takes them months to find a new job and if that happens I’d hold off for a little while.

Considering your wedding is well over 2 years away I think it's a bit early to think of just giving up.
