    Blimey. Your wedding is important and money is money but its only one day and you have to think about the rest of your life. You can get married anytime it's not worth stressing over. Its supposed to be a happy time.

    Good luck.

    What do you mean "your family are being awkward"? Don't they want to travel to a wedding, or do they not approve of him or something?

    When your OH is looking for jobs, is it for something he's interested/qualified in or "just any job"? In the past when I've needed money I've taken jobs doing early morning supermarket cleaning - which is not my thing and I absolutely hated it - but it was better than nothing.

    Weddings are stressful times as there is so much to think about, particularly when family politics come into it, but remember why you fell in love with your OH in the first place and why you said 'yes', and concentrate on that.

    Maybe you need to make 'you time' for you both, one night a week where you go out for a meal, watch a film, walk in the park or whatever (doesn't have to be expensive) and rediscover your love for each other? I know from experience that it's easy to let wedding planning take over and you forget to spend time enjoying each other.

    Hey!

    First of all I really feel for you ☹️ and if you can't vent on here then where can you vent!?

    Have you tried talking to eachother about it, does he know how you feel, or does it always just end up in an argument?

    That's a tough one, but that's their problem to sort out, not yours.

    I've always maintained that whatever issues people may have between themselves, put them aside for our wedding, or don't bother to come, end of story. Obviously you want your family including your dad there, but if they choose their feud over your happiness then I say stuff 'em personally.
