I must say that never in a million years did I think I would be creating a site asking for $$!

Unfortunately due to the economy, circumstances and plain ole bad luck, I am in such a tight spot, I really have nowhere else to turn.

My focus is not to spin a sob story but to simply be honest and forthright and hope that others can place themselves in my shoes, and with compassion and understanding lend help to a fellow human being.

So... that said, my very long story spun somewhat short goes this way:

My fiance and I begun dating in 2009 and through a tumultous whirlwind hurricane of a romance realized that we could not live without eachother.  Others clearly thought differently, as to me, I was in my first "adult" relationship and through some trial and error felt that wewere not right for eachother.  I will say I messed a lot of things up early on by confiding in others and moreso trying to comprehend how I could never connect with my very PRIVATE boyfriend.   Point taken, he is very PRIVATE...lol. Wish that lightbulb went off a little sooner.

Fast forward 2 more years and we are still together.  I've learned how to be a partner in a relationship, leaving friends and family out of problems in the home, and we are living together and ready to marry.

Now comes the real concerns, so...family relationship on my end is very strained to say the least in the parent division.  My fiance has been unemployed for almost a year as the Hospitality industry has tanked and I am currently working 2 jobs.  We intended to get married last year however were not thinking wisely nor realized how much a wedding would cost.  So between travels and randomly planning - when the time came, we realized we were not equipped financially to have one.  Fast forward to this year, and everything that could go wrong has!  Two cars that constantly have problems, sending out resumes daily, living on such a tight budget that we can given ourselves cabin fever and are on eachothers nerves almost daily.

Normally we would for obvious reasons back out however we have already placed deposits and are now locked in to where we simply need to pay.

I am too proud to go to my family as well as I dont believe it would be appreciated by my fiance, as well as I am sure if he found out I was doing THIS, he would probably leave me - god I hope not!  I am just at the end of my rope and through stress and bills and the cars and working - I feel that I MUST find a way and short of taking on a 3rd job, I dont know what to do or whom to turn to.  As well, my love is so disappointed and depressed that he can not provide that I have to remain strong because it actually puts more pressure and stress on him see me stress to the point to where he has insomnia - sleeping on average 2 hrs a day.  This stress has taken a huge toll on ourselves mentally and emotionally that we are at an impasse. Either we do it or lose out on all we invested to this point.  My stubborn ass tells me I can find options and it can be done. This being one of them.

Our wedding isnt anything extreme - I've purchased my dress secondhand, most items are obtained from stores on clearance or through craigslist.   More than likely there will be no centerpieces as they are quite costly.  We are not in a position to take out a small loan so here I am...asking for help.  Asking for someone to pass on a good deed and in return, I will do the same.  To whomever is marrying, once I am done, whatever I have I will pass on to another struggling Bride.  My dress - which I believe is quite stunning and beautiful - can become the "travelling" dress at a very low cost.  Someone was nice enough to help me out in this department to have my "dream" wedding dress at a fraction of the cost that I would be willing to return the favor.

My dress I hope will be the "it" factor that someone will donate and know of who I can pass this gorgeous size 12 (ivory/off white) dress too.  Unfortunately I do not have the matching gorgeous veil (too expensive) but the dress alone will make any bride shine!

Rewards

To the first person for pledging $350, my wedding dress will be yours! I will pay to clean the dress and ship it to you! *please know that when I purchased, there already was a small tear in the lace on the back train. No more than 2" long but barely visible.
