3. Question My fiancé and I are sooo low on cash!! We have just moved in together in hopes to get married, but now that we have added up the expenses we have realized we cannot afford a nice wedding.

Fortunately, his uncle is a pastor, so we have a church at no cost, but I cannot imagine HOW we will manage a reception (we live in an apartment and no one in our family has a nice house) or honeymoon costs etc. I need advice quick, before this becomes hopeless!!

5. Question My mother and father are divorced. Both have agreed to pay a portion of our wedding costs. My mother lives in another city about 2 hours away from my fiancé and I. As our wedding plans progress and services are being reserved I am needing money for deposits. As willing as my mother is to help with these costs she is unwilling to send a check until she 'sees' what she is paying for. Because of her busy schedule she is seldom available to travel the 2 hours to see for herself and we are running out of time. How can I let my mother know that she is adding stress to an already stressful situation without hurting her feelings and having her withdraw her offer to help financially? (2 answers)

9. Question My fiancé's mother is a very critical woman on everything pertaining to our wedding. She tries to make things difficult. What could I say to a woman who has not of yet offered to help with anything, as far as offering the rehearsal dinner, or even just moral support. Everything is falling on my shoulders as well as my mom and grandparents mentally and financially. She has not offered to do anything at all!! She feels that weddings are a waste of money and would rather see her son have a court wedding instead of a nice one. Being as it's both of our first times being married, I want both of us to have something really nice and so does my family. What should I do? (1 answer)

I am not one for jewel tones or pastels. What do I do?? Thank you! (1 answer)
