Wedding Sponsors

I have recently gotten engaged, and while I am so excited and very much in love and can not wait to marry my dream man, there is a slight cloud over it all and it is called finances. I do not have the financial support of my parents or his, times are tough for everyone.
I began researching how to afford my dream wedding, and came to the conclusion that I was going to have to cut back on quite a few things. It was in this research that I found the concept of sponsored weddings.
I saw many postings on this website regarding this matter, however they were a bit dated.
So I am posting something new, from something old, hoping to borrow some advice, and no my wedding colors are not blue.
On a side note I am located in Columbus, OH, and would appreciate any help or advice anyone may have.
Thank you
