Please Save My Wedding!

 

My fiance and I have been saving and planning for this wedding for over 19 months, the church is booked as is the organist. The dress and shoes are bought, the flowers have been chosen and the cars have been paid for.

 

The reception has been organised and partially paid, the two bridesmaids have their dresses and shoes. My fiance has chosen his outfit and taken his father, my father and best man, who is also his brother; to try their outfits on and deposits have been paid. Very handsome the four of them looked as well.

 

I've made the stationary, bought the favour boxes and also made the bridesmaids tiaras as well as my own.

 

Wherever I've been able to save money I have done. I've scoured the Internet for hours for bargains. Making my own things has also saved us money. In no way do I feel we have been frivolous or expected too much from our wedding.

 

Unfortunately five months ago my fiance lost his job, I am unable to work due to medical reasons and stay at home looking after the house and my fiance. As you can imagine this has put a strain on our finances, I said to my fiance that we could still go ahead with the wedding. After all, the church is booked and we've completed the marriage preparation classes. All we'd have to find money for would be the organist, a small donation to the church and the wedding rings.

 

My fiance said, 'No way. I want you-us to have the most fantastic day of our lives. I'll get another job and we'll be alright.'

 

Well that was five months ago, he's managed to get odd jobs to pay the bills and I've sold everything and anything I can on Ebay. This has left us in the position that we are going to have to cancel our wedding in the next month or so, I love my fiance very much and it's my dream to marry him. He's still being stubborn in the fact he wants me to have a wonderful wedding, I'm marring the man of my dreams, that's all I need.

 

What's frustrating is all the money we're going to lose when we do cancel.

 

This is where my plea to you, the amazing general public comes in. If you could just spare a few pence/pounds/cents/dollars/euros you will literally be saving my wedding. And stop my heart from breaking when/if I have to cancel. So if you feel you can, please donate. Thank you, Caroline.
