Re: were you totally broke right before your wedding?

We were, but DH was having financial issues and was out of work too, so it was kind of an extreme case.

Re: were you totally broke right before your wedding?

We were literally buying the bottled water for the reception on a credit card . I was so depressed about that and how broke we were....

But it was totally worth it

Re: were you totally broke right before your wedding?

we paid for EVERY single expense for our wedding, no help at all....and we still weren't dead broke.

I was freaking out anyway though because I knew we weren't going to get to the bank the day after, we still hadn't added each other to the bank accounts, and we were leaving for our HM in Europe...so we needed to make sure we had enough to cover us for 2 weeks abroad too!

Re: were you totally broke right before your wedding?

Me and FH are paying for the wedding ourselves but his parents said that they would give us around 5000 to help us. We are really trying to do it on our own and we were doing awesome. Maybe just needed to take some money just for the tips..... BUT I woke up this morning and saw a bill from FH's college for 600 dollars !!!! Mind you over 300 is a late fee because he didn't pay it last month. Way to go !!!!!! Yeah so now I'm nervous!

Re: were you totally broke right before your wedding?

I think because I paniced about money throughout the entire process I ended up with way more money than what we needed. It helped that my job was crazy busy the two months before and I bill by the hr so I was making tons.

Re: were you totally broke right before your wedding?

We werent broke at all. We spent all of our own money with a tiny bit of help from the parents and we were still fine.

Honestly, in the end I never looked at how much things cost. I just bought whatever we wanted or needed. At that point I didnt care about saving money, I was trying to be stress free and make things easier for myself.

Re: were you totally broke right before your wedding?

We were. It was kinda scary at the time but once we stated opening all our cards from the wedding it was much better. We took a little bit of spending money out of that for the HM, and it didn't even make a dent.
