i feel so overwhelmed that many of you guys took the time to give your own pieces of advice, i appreciate your concern. so far, i'm trying to find the right timing to let my husband know. i was also able to borrow money from some friends and somehow it relieved the worries. i'm gonna talk to mom about this later and we'll see how she reacts. as far as my hubby is concerned i understand that some of you might feel that he should also help out w/ the expenses... well he did help out, but like what i said we just had our civil wedding and he spent more money for that than i did. i am happy that you guys are helping me on this. the moral support is a big thing for me since i am not only in financial distress but emotionally unstable as well... good luck to me!!! pray for me my friends!!!

I am so glad to hear that you worked out some of your wedding problems. I'm not familiar with your country's cultural values as to weddings, but one thing I know--Weddings are Stressful!! Also, you should be honest with your husband. Marriage should be built on trust and understanding. You are right that you need to speak to your Mom about this, and two days before the wedding is probably not the right time for either of you. Wait til after when you are more relaxed and she is more receptive to a serious "mother-daughter" talk. I'm sure I speak for all of us here when I say, we are with you in spirit and wish for you a lovely wedding day. I know it's hard to relax with all the family tension, but you and your husband deserve happy memories of your upcoming day. So try to take it one step at a time, and don't let it overwhelm you. Some day in the distant future, you can tell your children about the day you and your husband got married, and hopefully, you will only have good memories to tell them. You're young, pretty, intelligent, and you have your whole life ahead of you (plus a new baby to look forward to!), and I wish you all the happiness that you deserve. Good luck, and enjoy your special day!!

I'm sorry to say but if you would ask for my opinion I think you should not spend so much money in the first place. yes, You'll be happy on the day of your wedding but what about your future? You'll be paying off your debts instead of starting to save for the future.
