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.

    Honestly, I am afraid the quality would not be there.

    LOL trust me, Im top heavy too (DDD). They can add a modesty panel, if needed. It's here in my closet, if it becomes needed.

    Hayley, that's my renewal dress, from our trip to the Philippines.

    Chrissy i'm so sorry you have to put up with that crap, but everything happens for a reason.... Maybe that wasn't really the dress for you... Your wedding isn't until June of next year so hopefully the extra time will give you time to save for something better... You never know... Try and cheer up don't let this make you sad or angry... Just try to look at the glass half full instead of half empty.... (I know I would be pissed too) But you just gotta make a new plan.... BTW Analy I LOVE the dress!

    I think it's amazing that someone is offering you a dress - I'd take it...you'll save money and not be stressed out about the wedding Smiley smilePlus, it's a BEAUTIFUL dress!!! Take the dress and spend your money on a great photographer who will make you look good in whatever you wear Smiley winking

    I feel your financial pinch pain, girl! I'm so sorry about your dress. I have cried about money a few times for my wedding. There's no shame! I just remind myself that it's not about the dress or the venue (mine was my free church I go to every Sunday - nothing special at ALL). It's about getting married to the love of my life. That helps me get through the disappoints of missing out on things I really wanted in my wedding, but couldn't afford.

    I'm so sorry you're going through all that! You're handling it all a lot better than I probably would. I'm having a glass of wine now in your honor ~ here's to you, may you & your FH find happiness in each other regardless of the times or the finances!
