Lea, many things need to be considered before pulling out a wedding. It is very unfortunate that you’ve lost your job in the middle of wedding planning. Not only that, your fiancé also lost his job. Although money isn’t everything in life, it is important to make a living, big or small. Your wedding will cost money but it doesn’t have to be expensive. Plan your wedding within your budget. Have you stipulated a budget?

It is also extremely important to be financially stable (this doesn’t mean rich). If you are going through financial or economical difficulties now, you more than likely will be in the same situation after you get married. Tackle your money problems and your job situation now (your fiance should do the same); don’t drag them into your marriage life. It is also very important not to fall into debt just to have a nice wedding. Those loans and credit card payments will follow you for years after your wedding day. If you’re settled for the June/06 date, why don’t you get married through the court house and have a nice dinner with family and close friends? You can always have a more elaborated wedding, when you are more financially stable
