Random really selfish vent

With all of the other horrible crap that my dad is doing, and all of the hurt he's causing us, which I cant even deal with right now, I just have to take a minute nad be selfish and vent about my wedding..

He left us with no money and lots of bills, which me and FH have to take on some of, which means we can't save ANY money for the wedding, which means we can't afford it!

We booked a really large hall because I have a large family but now we're not inviting my dad's family and I won't even come CLOSE to minimum. If they even LET me change the day, Friday night and Saturday afternoon are out because FH is Jewish, that leaves Sunday morning (SO no the feel I was going for) or Sunday evening (no one's going to come!)...

And I'm just so attached to my date. I absolutely love it. You know how you get attached to your wedding date, and it'll be yur anniversary for the rest of your life. I have it embroidered on my tote bag for corn's sake.

My whole wedding is completely up in the air. He encouraged me to book this huge expensive place in November..everyone loved it, and now he left..and it's not even that we were counting on $$ from my parents for the wedding, but it's the fact that they were paying for my car and car insurance for me b/c I'm still in college, etc, and now there's no way my mom can afford it, so my FH has to take it on, and it's a LOT of money. There goes the wedding savings and our vacation, and everything else. Also, now FH has to help me pay for college. Everyone wants me to finish full time so I can get financial aid and get it over with, and he's working full time, I can't do that with school and my back problems right now, so everything falls on FH.

In college I've always worked 2-3 jobs, but it's basically just kept me in books, gas, lunch and tampons. I was enver able to save anything, and that was with my parents helping me by paying for my car and taking out loans beyond my loans to help me pay..now with no help from my parents, Fh has to pay for everything..I'm so ANGRY that my dad is doing this to me...

Among other things he's taking away my dream wedding

I'm sorry

And about changing your wedding date.. you'll get over it.. We had to change ours very last minute even the invites were out and heck my Liweddings name is still our orginal name yet we got married on 92702 so don't even sweat that kind of stuff.. We had to switch our date, time, and paid for a good amount of empty seats but our day was still perfect and yours will be too! I'm sorry all of this is happening to you!

I can't understand why you think 'no one would come' to a Sunday night wedding - I never heard of such a thing. My wedding was on a Sunday night and we had almost 100% turnout and EVERYONE stayed until the end. Many even stayed for the after hours jazz until well after midnight.

I have been to more Sunday night weddings than Sat. night (a lot of my friends are jewish) - I never heard this to be an issue for any of them so - my point is -

DON'T STRESS - Have it Sunday night!

Im sorry

Did you give them a lot of money? Maybe you can tell them what happened and they will give you some money (I know the owners) back and you can have it at a smaller place.

Marymoon I am so sorry you are going through this. Let me tell you, those who care about you will be there no matter when or where it is. And they'll be focusing on one thing - teh beautiful bride and groom! And the important thing is that you an FH get through this without stressing too much- and you'll be all the more stronger because of it.
