Her Fiancé Feels Like Canceling Their Wedding Since He Can’t Pitch In And Pay For It
Weddings are expensive. This is why most of us gather a second job just to cover the bills and put the extra money from job number two off to the side, just for the wedding.
If it’s not a second job, it’s most likely over time, working day and night just to have the ability to cover everything we have ever wanted for our special day.
Some of us are just better with our money, so budgeting is our main priority, and we won’t place an anxiety-filled financial burden over our heads.
Then there comes a time when one significant other is doing most of the work and covering 99% of the payments. If this is the case, what do you do next?
A couple has been placing their wedding on hold for a multitude of reasons. At first, the guy needed a prenup.
Second, a worldwide pandemic hit and ruined everything, and third, the guy just realized he could not pay his portion and wants to cancel the wedding.
So now what?
The woman has been planning and paying for everything on her own. However, since they had initially agreed to split the venue and vendor expenses, she made a sheet of everything her future husband owes her and paid for all the costs upfront.
The unfortunate part is that her 35-year-old future husband placed most of his funds in stocks, and with the market crashing, he lost all of the money he planned on giving her as payment for his portion of the wedding expenses.

Now he is using the excuse that they must cancel the entire wedding due to his lack of funds from the market crash.
While he has asked for a loan, the future wife worries he may invest the money into his stocks, only for his investments to rise and leave her with no portion of the share.
“One option was for me to lend him money, but I am reluctant to because he drafted and laid out in the prenup that any money made during the marriage from personal investment funds are separate,” she explained.
“I had fought for all earnings after marriage to be joint for situations like this when times are bad…”
Their situation is quite interesting. After a small portion of their background story has been brought to the public eye, should she lend him the loan for their marriage?
It sounds like a rough way to start a long-lasting life of through sickness and health!
