Today is the 3 month mark for us. I am so worried that we will not be able to pay off these vendors! It's the cash thing. I would feel so much better if we could pay things on credit then pay off the bills with the wedding money. We are so friggin broke and don't spend $ on ANYTHING!
I am FREAKING!!!!!

It's unbelievable! We went to Buffalo Wild Winds for dinner last night (big spenders!) and I felt so guilty! We aren't going to have a dime to go on our honeymoon! I need to hit lotto!

YES!
My stomach was in KNOTS earlier in the week. My rent goes up $100 starting in September too, AND FH added a car to our insurance that wound up costing us $600 more per 6 months. I have no money for gifts, honeymoon, dog sitter and am starting to flip out.

I know take a deep breath I keep telling Joe to tell me it is all going to be ok! IT will though...it has to be! What kind of dog do you have and where do you live?

You are not alone. I am stressing out about the tips and extra $ for the RD and other expenses the day of.

I can't fall a sleep at night knowing all the stuff I still need to do! At least the nightmares are over for me, for the moment!

Yep. I don't sleep anymore. I even get paid 3 times in Sept, and it still won't be enough. We're gonna make it by the skin of our teeth....

I haven't been sleeping well for over 3 weeks and it's more over money as opposed to how I'm going to get everything done. I'm over budget and tired damn it!!

I have a pit bull and I live in Huntington. FH and I have thought of a few lower-cost options (my mom offered to stay at my place for the weekend nights so that if we get a dogsitter, we wouldn't have to pay her for the whole week and a half) but the whole thing is giving me a stomache. I wish she was not as excitable around other dogs!!!! I have a million friends who would take her if that was the case.

Re: anyone else losing sleep over
Is anyone charging things? We've been good so far but we talked last night and what we need to come up with in time for the wedding is going to have to come from credit cards which I hate but at least we know we will take care of them after the wedding still hate to max them out right now!

We are considering it. The cash that we have now is for the remainder of the hall and vendors. The little things like, BP gifts, hair, makeup, nails, undergarments and that stuff I think I will charge. FH is not happy with it. He hates charging. He only has 1 CC!! But, I don't want to be strapped for cash in the end and start taking it out of envelopes to pay vendors. (I feel bad for those that have to do that! Why are weddings so expensice??)

Nope. We aren't. We are paying cash for everything. We really don't want the debt after...but it's definitely tempting...

Re: anyone else losing sleep over
right now - no, because we can pay for the wedding in cash and be fine - its nerve wracking b/c its a lot of money we are paying out but we know we have it and can come up with it....
BUT (there is always a but!)
if we get this house before the wedding - then i dont think ill sleep at all we put an offer on a short sale mid june and still waiting - if they accept our offer we could close within 45 days - and that would mean coming up with the downpayment and paying a mortgage on top of our rent and the wedding so that is REALLY nervewracking b/c we really want this house but at the same time it wont be easy if we get it....

We have all the vendors paid and the hall....we just have remainder things like the remainder of my dress and the RD and my gfriend is getting married in FL 3 days after we get back from our honeymoon so we have to fly out again but had to buy the tickets now and it just all added up at a bad time too sooooooo i think we are going to have to charge some of it. There is no other option!

We paid cash for everything. The only thing we charged was the last payment of the honeymoon. I wanted to know that whatever $ we would get from the wedding will be for us and not the credit card companie.
