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 ....

    What size dress are you? My sister wore that dress last year and it is sitting in her closet collecting dust. (It has been altered and hemmed.)

    I am so sorry that you are dealing with all of this. I feel your pain on a lot of it (FH has a crazy ex that is TOTALLY Lifetime Movie worthy......seriously) so PM me if you need to vent more on that subject or just hear someone else's craziness to get your mind off of yours for a few. Don't feel like you're being petty. Yes, it's only a dress but sometimes in our minds that is such a big part of the day. Not the marriage, but the day. You do have a while before your wedding and I'm assuming that you've already paid on the dress......will you lose that money? Instead of putting the deposit on the venue could you go ahead and pay off the dress instead? Either delay the venue deposit until you find PT work or find a different space altogether that is cheaper (don't know if you are into outdoor at all but you can find spectacular public spaces that are super cheap). I know it sucks to think about changing the wedding date, venue, etc.......but I have faith it will all work out.

    I'm so sorry you're dealing with all of this right now. Having your FH's ex telling their child they are getting back together isn't going to help anything. Have you talked to your step-daughter about it? She needs to know there is no chance of her mom and dad getting back together and that you're there for her and that the two of you love her. I know right now everything seems to be falling apart but sooner or later it'll get better. If you need to stop planning the wedding for a little bit try finding something else you can do to take your mind off of things. Maybe starting a garden would help take your mind off of things?

    Dont cancel the order!!!!! davids has a thing(which they will not tell you about) they will hold the dress, and let you make payments on it. i thank i was called a managers hold. all you do is go in talk o the manager and tell them the circumstances and they will work out a deal with you on payments.

    Sorry to here about your situation!Cheer up it will all work out for the best in the end!Thes days you have to think positive , thinking negative will only make you feel worse. You have plenty of time to get your dress and do wedding planning. You may also find the dress somewhere else cheaper or better yet see something else you like even more than the first dress. There is always someone out there whose situation is worse than yours. God doesn't put any more on us than we can't handle.

    Chrissy, I am so sorry to hear all of this bad news. Just keep your head up, God will never give you more than you can handle. I will keep you, your family and situtaion in my prayers. I know how you feel with the ex drama. I've had to deal with it x's 2. Yet, not quite as badly as you are. Some women are just dumb b*thces and thrive on drama. I don't understand how some ppl can put their children through some of the things they do. It's beyond me and it's so infuriating when you know that there is nothing you can do. Just pray and pray it doesn't screw the kid up!!!

    What does your head piece look like?

    Do you want the same dress? Or what styles would you want?

    And I'm sure it was just the frustration and hurt talking, but don't ever stop doing the right thing. It's obvious you are an amazing person and it will pay off for you. You have ALOT on your plate right now. But, atleast you still have a while before the wedding.

    I am sooo unbelievably sorry Chrissy! I know my situation isn't anywhere near yours, but I definitely get where you are coming from, I've been in somewhat of the same situation as you with your step-daughters biological mom, but in reverse. When me and FH first got together, the cell I had at the time was paid for by my ex (I wasn't about to be going out on the road with my son without a cell, the plan was in my name, but once I had my son the job I had went under so I had no job after I had my son) and he was constantly txting me and calling me, literally to the point of harassing me, like if he called and I didn't answer within 1 minute he would've already txt me 5 times asking why didn't I answer the phone, if I didn't answer his txt right away he was calling again... you get the idea. Son's sperm donor is a lying, cheating POS that was always more concerned about supporting his sorry excuse for a man child father's (who is 47 and can't hold a job.. a bum more less) habit of cont..

    Smoking and drinking. Even now that I have found myself the most wonderful man, just to make sure that my son gets what he wants and needs I do go without alot just like you. FH is the one that works, I've been trying to find a job with 0 luck, so I stay home to take care of my son. I get how it feels to give up practically everything for a child, that's just something that's in our nature. As for everything else, I'm sorry its all happening and I will be praying for you that things fall back into place for you and FH and kids. *HUGS* and don't worry about it sounding petty or anything, we all need to vent no matter how silly or dumb we may think it is Smiley smile

    Situations like this one can make you or break you as a couple, make sure you guys stay together through this, and you will make it through. Take the dress being offered adn have it altered you will have peace of mind on that front and channel your energy towards all the other stuff which needs your attention. Luckily you have plenty of time hun and by then everything will be OK and you will have a beautiful wedding *hugs*

    @ Chrissy- I found my designer Maggie Sottero dress used on craigslist. You can actually search the entire craigslist in all areas by going to searchtempest.com. Just put your area code in and how far you would be willing to go.

    I already searched for your dress from davids (style Style T9218) and didn't find anything, however you can keep looking and one may come up. Also you could just search wedding dresses in your size. You may find one that you really like for a really good price. I got mine for $350 including the underskirt, spanx and veil. This would have normally costs me around $2,000. Good Luck!

    Chrissy, I am truly sorry about your dress. Recently the WW girls told me to take a wedding break and although its hard, being on WW is about all I can handle right now. I think your FH is right on and at least he doesn't seem clueless to your needs. You have time and maybe in a month or two things will look up and you will be able to get your dress with no problem. It's hard taking care of everyone else and not have your time too, but it does get better. Hang in there.

    I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this. Honestly, I think you might be able to find it on oncewed.com or a similar used gown site. Whats the style number?
