Hi there,

It sounds like an incredibly stressful situation for you to be in. Perhaps there are other ideas, I wouldn't put your wedding off completely just yet

I agree with those that say if you're going to pay for something, pay for the food, not the drinks. You can completely disagree with the following ideas, but what about a picnic, or a pot-luck (everyone bring a dish of something), or an afternoon tea rather than a full meal? I've been to a couple of weddings where we had afternoon tea, not a meal. One of those weddings was for my cousin, and in the evening, members of the family went around to one of the Aunties/Uncles place for a meal. Both weddings were wonderful, memorable occasions

No doubt you feel like many of your dreams and ideas for your wedding are being shattered, and that's rather hard to take

*hugs* I'm sure there's a solution out there for you!
