We are on a TIGHT budget, we were looking into a VFW hall and having catering. Well I was looking at the place we would be getting the catering from and they offer events, so I was crunching numbers and if we have it at the place that we wanted to have do the catering we would save some money. NOW..., my aunt/godmother is trying to put her 2 cents in and tell me to do a country club (looked at the prices and its DEF out of budget) she is being PUSHY with it and I keep telling her its NOT AFFORDABLE. Im def 2nd guessing doing the VFW hall, NO deposits have been made, but Im just not sure what to do!! My FH and I are getting together every Fri to discuss things I am planning on bringing ALL this up when we talk tomorrow but I really not sure.
I dont have family that can really help with this, my mom passed away when I was 16, my grandmother passed 2 yrs ago and my grandfater passed 15 yrs ago. I have 1 aunt (horriable healt, doesnt work) and 1 uncle (war vet, health not great) left, my uncle and his wife ARE going to pay for my dress (PHEW, was worried how I was gonna afford that). My FH has a BIG family but he is a VERY independent person he doesnt ask for help if its not life or death, even then its still VERY hard for him to ask for family help. We both know that his family will help where we need it, if needed. This venue thing is really starting to stress me out and just want to break down and cry. ANY and ALL advice is welcome. THANK YOU!!
