...but right now, I couldn't care less if the wedding didn't go ahead.

I feel really down & deflated today. H2bs sister who is also a bridesmaid had a hissy fit lat night saying she's been left out of everything and she's feeling unwanted etc (she's a 24 year old brat...everything's always about her). I told her she's not missed any 'bridal party fun' because there hasn't been any!! No hen do, no girly days...nothing! My other 2 bms (my sisters) have been uninterested in doing anything so rather than force the issue, I just left it.

Then h2bs parents had offered to pay for the church for us. Two days before we are due to pay the vicar, we get told they might not be able to so need to find £615 for Monday. We have it but it then completely wipes out the ££'s we had asides for a mini moon in the Lakes.

I just feel really down and fed up. I've not enjoyed any element of wedding planning...even the dress shopping part! I just want to be married now and for it all to be over and done with!

It definitely sucks and they really should have mentioned earlier than now that they might not be able to pay, but if they don't have the cash then they don't have it. I'd say count your blessings that you do have it, cos if that happened to me there would be no wedding - we have no savings and nothing for any kind of honeymoon or contingency plan. I understand changing your plans will be a bummer, but it could be a lot worse.

I know...in the grand scheme of things, it could be a whole lot worse. Thing is, they do have it...that's the annoying thing. His mom told us the other week, they have £1k aside to give us. They did the same to his brother when he got married, promised ££'s but never actually gave it. It's just peed me off, she was the one that nagged us to go away after wedding. We weren't initially going to...she insisted & offered to have the children. Now, because of them, we won't be going anywhere!

Ugh, I'm never planning a wedding again!!!!

It's made me sad to read your post. You should be looking forward to your wedding day and for the family around you to be making you feel like this is not right. Try not to worry too much about them or the money (easier said than done). I think you should just let them have their little rant and rise above this money thing. This is YOUR wedding day not theirs, just pay the extra £615 even if it means having to pay it with credit and save to pay if back for a few months, and then concentrate on the fact that in a few days time you are marrying the person you love as after all...that is what you have been planning for. I hope you have a lovely day ?

Poor you. Think I'd feel exactly the same in your shoes. I know it's easy to say by the only

important thing is that you'll be married. Everything else is simply hooplah!

hope things work out for you x
