If I were in you shoes I would also sell it on ebay. If you really think about it, other people can use it and who knows you may make a little more then you paid and come out a head. \nI am so sorry that your wedding plans are off. god bless and best of luck to you

Clothes sell well, even offline.  I would take your unused clothes to an offline store, you'd be surprised what you get!

Get a coordinator local to the area you are getting married in to help.  Typicall the Day Of Packages include final vendors confirmations, which it sounds like you need for some piece of mind, as well as coordination of your rehearsal and running the day of your wedding to ensure things are running in a timely manner and nothing is overlooked.  \n\nMy company covers all of Southern California and that is what is included in our package and if it isnt offered you should be able to customize a package with a coordinator that includes what you do need help with.  Good luck!

My husband and I were in a similar situation and we had a very nice wedding for cheap.  Your best bet...do it yourself.  We had the reception at my parents house.  40 people in the basement and living room and it was great.  everyone had so much fun and it was very memorable because it was once of a kind.  my mom did the food all herself and we got some KFC chicken because my husband is supervisor there.  If you decide to do the food yourself you can contact me through this site and i could give you some ideas and tips no problem.  i got my dress on sale at a bridal shop because the style was no longer made.  it was only $500 (with cleaning, steaming and alterations) marked down from $1000.  There are also alot of prom and brides maid dresses that resemble wedding gowns that you could go for as well.  a plain wedding band can be as little as like $100, then later on in life you can renew vows and give a different ring(thats what we ae doing) and you can make alot of decorations and favours and flowers yourself or get them cheap from like a dollar store.  we got balloons and streamers in pink and silver for the decorations from the dollar store.  under $50 to decorate and you'd never tell we spent so little.  keep the guests minimum and that way you could do an open bar too.  for the 40 guests we bought 5 cases of beer, bottle of vodka, rum and rye and some wine.  it was plenty and everyone was happy not to have to pay for booze.  it was great and such a wonderful day.  we got married a a wedding chapel for like $250, but you could look into doing a ceremony at your home or something for cheap too.  just keep in mind everything that needs to be done can most likey be done yourself for half the price.  dont give up and dont wait if this is what you want to do.  its no impossible and trust me, if you love him that much, its a day you'll never forget.  also remember, you can always renew vows some day and do it the way you want when you have money.  thats my plan. small the first time, then big party when we renew.  best of luck to you.

First before you sell anything cut those credit cards up and stop using them now. That is how so many people get into debit in the first place, if you don't have the money to pay for it than you really don't need it right?? Second you are thinking of these rings and stuff as objects, which they are but do they not hold memories of the times that you and your husband spent together, the reason that the ring was given. It maybe just jewelry, but look past and see what they really mean. Try before that to get help with your debit, call and see if you can consolidate your bills, they now have debit councilors to help people like yourself, but remember get rid of those cards and that will start you on the right road. Good Luck and please don't do it behind your husbands back that could hurt more than your credit, it could hurt your marriage. Talk to him if that is the way that you think that you need to go.

Yes. Why would you want to bring the symbols of all failed marriages into a new one? You should pawn them and move on. With the money you receive from the old rings, get a new ring to start anew life.

Make sure you really want to do it again first!  (Just joking) \n\nAlot of couples with do this if they have had problems and want to start anew, kind of erase the past.  \n\nAs you know most weddings are forgotten, but the reception is what lives on!  To save money, still have the small church wedding, but plan a big reception!  Make your renewed vows special to you, your family and a few of your closest friends!\n\nMake your own invitations. With all the scrapbooking material out there, you can make some really pretty ones.\n\nPick out a beautiful dress, tux and spend money on the pictures! That is what you want to remember your special day!

My girlfriend is getting married next month and she E-Bayed everything. From flowers to her own wedding dress.

Well I guess it depends of each girl, but for me: A solitaire, silver and princess cut. I guess it also depends if  you are going to buy the engagement ring separately than the wedding set. If the engagement ring is going to be part of the wedding set then yes a bit flashy would be nice, but if the wedding set is separate then the engagement ring, then the engagement ring should be simple. I hope that made sense! \n\n~browneyes~

Help those who could not help themselves. Give back to everyone I have received from. Lighten loved ones debts and medical expenses so they can free their spirits from worry and stress. Postpone working, seek knowledge to enrich and satisfy my own interests. Renew my wedding vows some place beautiful, have a big celebration with my friends that I never have time to see. Move from my current surroundings to keep my identity as a person that can do without everyone telling me what I should do.

Band first. Engagement ring on top.\n\nBut during the ceremony you take the engagement ring off.

You can if you want to.  A lot of brides do.  I'm getting married in a few weeks and we decided not to exchange gifts just because we don't have the extra money, plus we decided to buy a dog after the wedding.
