SOOOOO relieved!!!!! but how does everyone handle this!!!

FH and i (well more more b/c i'm crazy) have been stressing about the budget and how the HELL we were going to work it out.. we will only be engaged for 9 months when we get married, and will only have had 6 months to pay for everything. i was going through our budget and realized that i think we will be OK!!!!!

i HATE that the RH final payment is up in the air for another couple of weeks but we have a general idea. but its nice to know that we aren't going to start begging family for money!!!

how does everyone handle the financial stress of the wedding?? i dont' know how we've done it!

FH just keeps telling me we'll be fine. I am super worried because I can't find a job-so come May there is a chance I will be unemployed.
Worst case scenario (not that we want to do this) but we've been making sure we have lots of available credit on each of our credit cards. We are paying what we can by credit card (and then paying that off) and saving the cash we do have (as some final payments are due in cash).
Little things that are helping (which we originally figured into our budget) are that the final payment for photog and videographer aren't due until after the wedding when we pick up the final product. And that the hotels for the honeymoon don't need to be paid for until we get to where we are going.
We also called our RH at the beginning of this month because we thought we had a $6k payment due. Turns out it isn't due until 90 days before, so we can make some more interest on that money.
