Postponing the wedding. (venting a little)

How expensive is your wedding and when were you planning to have it? A flat tire and car battery are not things that should result in a cancelled wedding if you’ve already put deposits for all your vendors and venue. You will end up losing more money by cancelling. I would recommend putting the car battery and tire on credit for now and saving your money to pay things off. My FH and I are in the process of buying a home and money is tight. I’ve gone through our possessions and listed some things we don’t need or want on eBay. Since December 28th I have sold $1,342.88 worth of items on eBay. Things I sold include old brand name clothing (express, Lularoe), textbooks, magic cards, etc. We are using this money to help ease the financial stress with closing costs and it’s giving my FH the ability to continue to save for our wedding. You could even look into a flea market table. Things you wouldn’t think would sell, usually do. I mean we had magic cards from a decade ago that we’ve never used. One card sold for $50. It’s insane what people would buy and worth looking into!

I have a friend that had to suddenly elope a few years ago due to insurance stuff. For their one year, they did a full wedding (ie vow renewal) with a reception. She ended up still getting the wedding of her dreams and was over the moon.

Sorry to hear hope things will get better for you guys.💗

I feel your pain. I just had surgery this month (which was about 30% more than what they quoted me-I didn't budget for that) and needed a new car battery.

We changed our plans in December and were able to get our deposit back from our venue and a smaller package from our photographer. Definitely read your contracts to see if that's an option!

Only you know how much of the wedding has already been paid for, how much money you will lose by cancelling, and so on.

But I would take a serious look at whether you can still have a much-pared-down version of the wedding, so you aren't completely losing your deposit money. Is that possible?

This literally happen to my Fiancé and I in November we had to get 4 new tires for one car a sensor replacement and on our other car the alternator went, had to pay our car taxes for both cars in order to get one car registration renewed on top of Christmas and planning a wedding but some how some way we made it through life will always throw curve balls no matter what. Just keep your focus and faith best wishes to you guys.
