Sad to postpone the wedding

I'm sorry you're having to postpone, but that doesn't mean you can't get married. Keep in mind that the wedding is what's important, the reception is optional. Maybe consider scaling things back and having a small intimate wedding instead. Life will always be there throwing obstacles in your path. If marriage is what you desire, then re-think your plans and go for it!

Hey, I had an emergency come up over the summer that obliterated my bank account. Instead of postponing, we moved our date up by a month! With so little time we decided that we wanted to focus our day on what is important to us. That helped cut the bull out. What we really want is to be married and while a party would be nice, so is not stressing out over a single day.

Like other comment, maybe seriously downsize to fit what you can reasonably afford. Focus more on your "must haves" and get rid of anything that you are including simply because people "usually do". If you truly want to marry this people focus on joining those two lives together. The wedding is just a public celebration from the joy of that unification. It doesn't have to be big and grand. You will feel less overwhelmed knowing you can afford something a little smaller than having terrible arguments about money trying to do something that is simply outside your reach at this time.

We were hoping to get married November 2018 but due to me being in college and us moving we had to push it back a year. I quit school and we have been saving our money and I got a new credit card for wedding related things but we have paid it off every month in full so when we get married next month we will be completely debt free

It saddens me when I hear about people being so overwhelmed and stressed about the wedding and the costs, etc. Because the important part is the marriage!! You can still get married without spending loads of money and you can still have guests present. I don’t think a wedding is something that people should go into debt over if they don’t have the funds. I say that because the financial regret will come in quickly the day after the wedding if you spend more than you have.

Hopefully you don’t have to postpone your wedding because you can still have something beautiful without spending a ton of money and without trying to follow every trend that’s out there.

I was supposed to get married in July of this year. Due to some financial aspects, we decided in July of 2018 to postpone. I really didn't want to scale back the wedding I was dreaming of just to make it happen sooner. The reality with us is that we already live together and not a whole lot will change after we say our I dos. We're now planning for August of 2020, and I'm so happy we decided to push it. We both ended up getting promoted at work within the last year and were able to get a house. Both of those things lessened our financial concerns and we're now actively planning and paying for the wedding we wanted all along. I know it's hard when you have no choice but to change plans, but if you're in love and happy the physical date that you become husband and wife isn't going to matter as much as just being together. Do whatever works for you and it'll work out in the end.
