Chrissy, on April 6, 2011 at 11:37 PM Posted in Planning 0 66

So my gown would have been paid off and home on April 29th. Well things have gone horribly wrong. I balled over my gown yes balled. My fiancee was laid off work for 2 weeks. So we have been penny pinching we have 3 kids between us. our bills started piling up those two weeks really hurt. Him and I are paying for the wedding his mom is helping too just she has bills as well. Lastnight reality started to sink into him. He hit a deer with our car doesnt have full coverage now our car needs a new hood, light, front fender shocks and tires oh and an oil leak ugh. we can still drive it but not for long. he told me today when I was picking out wedding items that my gown has to go back we can't afford to pay it off my april 29th and they won't extend my layway. So I balled this is my gown the one I wanted to walk down the aisle to him in. On top of that our wedding venue ciontract is being written up and sent to us . It takes a deposit on it as well. On top of losing my ....

    Gown, veil, and head piece we may lose our venue too. I feel like it's crumbling beneth us. None of my family is helping out with the wedding. It's mainly on him and I . As I said his mom is helping too. I am crushed. The only thing I wanted from taxes was my gown. lately I have been under alot of stress due to his daughters biological mother. She has tried to split us up texts his phone saying ok hun, tells their daughter they are getting bk together and keeps trying to have me arrested. She is evil the ultimate lifetime movie net work ultra villain. she has severe issues. We have custody of my step daughter because her biological mother is a bipolar pill popping crack smoking abusive pos. I had to give up my job to take care of her because there is no sitter and he makes more then I do. I have given up alot I make sure everyone has everything they need and not to sound like a petty cry baby i go without alot of thigs. I don't ask nor want anything. All I wanted was my gown and now I can't even have it. It's devistating. My fiancee said no more wedding planning till later on. I have been under so much stress do to his ex she has done alot more then listed above.

    Planning our wedding and having everything come together "nicely" as it was till this was the opne thing that made me happy. while I was planning this his exs drama didnt and couldn't bother me. I have been deeply depressed because she tried to say i abuse my kids and starve them which is bs and has already been proven that she is a friggen liar. But every chance she gets she fills out court papers with nothing but lies they get thrown out of court but still the stress has gotten to me. She won't even pay her court ordered support which sucks because we are footing the whole bill while she is off on shopping sprees I take care of her daughter along with my fiancee. It is so devistating that the one thing that helped to keep me from losing it due to the stress is falling apart. Honestly after all this I dunno if I wanna ghet married I love him to the end of the earth and know he is doing his best but After todays news I am broken . I am just sitting here with my fairy tale wedding crumbled around me. All I can do is cry

    I feel like everything is against me. Sorry if some of you think its petty and stupid. but I am a good person I do good things in life I help everyone out if I can and you think that luck would come my way but as I look around at the pieces and shed each tear I wonder wtf should I even be a good person and worry about others. Why whats the point when this happens it sucks. i feel like im out of strength as I have said planning this wedding was my way to enjpy like everyonne else planning my future and it didn't include his ex tg but now i have lost this and I feel like my will to fight has dimished and I feel like I wanna just give up i feel so alone and devistated. My fiancee is here for me but He doesn't get how i feel as i watch everyone get what they want and when it comes to me nothing. I know that sounds selfish but im tired of seeing everyone get theres while im dust in the wind. Sorry had to vent ugh. if you wanna reply rude remarks go ahead whatever helps you sleep at night ugh.

    I'm sorry for your situation Chrissy. It sounds like you are doing all you can, but life is just sucking right now. I know you don't want to hear it, but losing your dress isn't the end of the world. It could be your house, or your kids! You have a long time before the wedding, so you can rebound from this. Maybe if you're open to it, you could even find the dress at a lesser cost on a once-worn site?

    Have you thought about finding part time work perhaps, while the FH is home with the kids? It sounds like if a few weeks can make or break you, that it might be a good thing to build up some savings, even if it's only a little bit.

    I hope you guys get back on your feet soon!

    It isn't petty or stupid. You're under a lot of stress right now so it is understandable you're upset about the dress. I'm a believer that everything will work out in the end. There have been many times in the past where I've laid (lie, layed?) in bed all night worrying about money and whether I'd even have enough gas to get to work. It always works out in the end. I'll keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. Your WW friends are here for you!!

    Thanks ladies. it just really sucks. Yes I am looking for a pt job as we speak. Its hard in our area because of the economy alot of people are only hiring people on public assistance. Which to me is descimination but because of the amount of people on it here It leaves little to no chance at finding a job. It sucks because I don't feel like a bride to be anymore. I know I am blessed to have our home and children . Im just depressed over it. I know its just a gown but that was the begining of our life together kwim It meant alot to me. All I know is I really need a drink lol I know that sounds bad but after all I have been through I wanna have a drink lol

    Smiley sad that's not petty or stupid! I am so sorry! I know sometimes it seems like all the bad things happen to really good people, trust me I do everything I can for everyone around me and have bee nothing but screwed over thousands of times by all the people I go to the ends of the earth for. But hun, maybe there's a reason for this that you can't see yet. You will have your wedding and your husband, it may not be the way you always dreamed, it may be better. You deserve to have everything you dream of but the reality is that generally doesn't happen. You have every right to be upset, but don't decide to call off your wedding until you have thought it through completely because it sounds to me like you are still very much in love with your fh [despite the psycho baby momma]. Take some deep breaths, and remember that love makes a perfect wedding, even in blue jeans, love is what matters. <3 I'll be praying for you and I truly hope things look up.

    Have you looked, maybe you could find it used online?

    I am sure some of these lovely ladies could point you to sites you could check.

    I will keep you in my prayers. Maybe something good will come of this.

    Everything happens for a reason. Hopefully your luck will turn around and you'll find a dress and/or venue you love even more. Keep your chin up.

    Hmmm....my dress is somewhat similar in style...but it's chiffon. It has a v-neck and lace, and it has the ribbon under the bust. It's like a $1500 dress....

    Lemme find a photo. What size are you?
