Urgent Dilemma - help / thoughts?! 🥺

Blossom, 14 March, 2025 at 13:09 Posted on Just Married 0 5
So it’s a very long story to make it short, we only had 6 months to plan the wedding, and now there’s less than 3 months left. It’s a destination wedding and we have sent out the invitations - we are expecting 50-60 people so far 40 have confirmed. Maybe only 20 have booked their flights. And the wedding planner I hired in November has not done one meeting with me until I got upset and realised I’ve been planning and organising vendors etc everything myself so I set up a meeting with her two days ago so also didn’t feel confident with less than 90 days till the wedding there is still much to sort out. I told her my budget initially already, there wasn’t transparency as she added costs to the spreadsheet that wasn’t there before so now the wedding is going to cost 15-20k more than we expected it to. We don’t know whether to cancel and do a registry locally then dinner or still go ahead? We are thinking about life after like marriage, housing and honeymoon etc. it’s not making much sense but some people have already booked their flights.
As people that have been married what would you do? We need to make a decision soon and fast - I’ve been praying about it and didn’t know there was a forum here so thought I’d ask for opinions openly.

    I'm so sorry - what a horrible situation to be in.

    Is there any way you can reduce the costs? What is this wedding planner adding that it is costing £20k more than your budget? I would first of all look through the paperwork that you have from her to check that she is able to exceed your budget by such a large amount. Especially as you seem to have been doing most of the planning yourself!

    As for what to do...that is such a tough one. I think you need to weigh up the amount you will lose if you cancel against the extra amount you will have to pay if you go ahead. I certainly would advise against taking on large amounts of debt to pay for what is, after all, just one day of celebration - you don't want to start your married life with a massive financial burden hanging over you.

    Focus on what really matters - the two of you making this major commitment to each other, hopefully surrounded by those who are dearest to you. If you can do this in the way you originally planned, that's wonderful, but a few years down the line, it will be the people you remember more than the location. Look at your options, check your paperwork and make your decision together. Wishing you all the best, wherever your wedding takes place.

    More and more Australians prefer platforms where you can not only play, but also do not worry about technical details. Winward Casino strikes such a balance - every element here works for the player's comfort.

    I play at Pokiesurf Casino AU mainly in the evenings—it's a great way to relax! I love slots with free spins and tournaments with prizes. The platform is stable and runs smoothly. I especially like that everything is in English, but it's easy to understand even if you don't know the language perfectly. I've made two withdrawals—everything was fine.

    Olá, pessoal! Estava procurando um jogo novo para experimentar e encontrei fortune tiger blaze . Fiquei impressionado com a variedade de jogos e a rapidez das rodadas. Embora eu tenha perdido algumas apostas no começo, o jogo me envolveu tanto que eu não queria parar. Em algumas rodadas seguintes, finalmente consegui uma vitória boa que me fez recuperar o que havia perdido. A experiência foi tão divertida que agora tento jogar sempre que posso. Super recomendo para quem busca emoção!

    Why should I choose your CAD training over other institutes in Tambaram?
