Today, I had to cancel my wedding. On top of being upset about the break up, I was informed I owed a $900 cancellation fee for not using the venue. Single and broke. FML

If it wasn't meant to be it wasn't meant to be. ..$900 seems like a fair price instead of putting up with an unhappy marriage/divorce, which seems like where this marriage would have gone.

Sorry for the financial burden you have been left with. It is just salt on an open wound at this point. Its money lost, but money can be replaced. Wasted time however, cannot. I have two failed marriages behind me. Coming from those experiences, I can honestly say you are better to have ended it before the wedding. I had gotten married for all the wrong reasons. First one is blamed on youth. The second one is blamed on physical attraction only. I am now engaged to a woman that I have been friends with for over 10 years. It is a completely different and genuine experience this time around. Life seems to kick you when you are down, but when you manage to pick yourself up; you are stronger and wiser. I wish you the best for your future, whether happily single or happily joined. Just be happy.

why not split the costs? or something

I hope your ex pays that shit. It's his fault you owe it :( I'm sorry that happened >.<

Who initiated the breakup? And for what reason? I can't pass judgment until I get the full story.

I am sorry to hear but you are not alone-I cancelled 2 weddings in 2 years lost $$.. First as my fiance was mistakingly banned from the us(hawaii wedding, thousands for a lawyer as well) then 2 months to the date he left me as he got feelings for my sis. 6 years and thousands of dollars gone..

But always better to find out now than 10 years down the road and when kids may be involved (assuming they are not, but even if so still better now than later) it may take a while but you will be stronger and find someone who truley deserves you. If you need somone to talk to let me know <3

Just to clarify (char.limit)it was the same guy-rebooked just for him to leave me. We also share a condo which currently has no equity and I am unable to work due to an illness. There's always someone worse off. the wedding was supposed to be only $3,000 we ended up spending more not having it..

"We understand how this must be a very difficult time for you, we're very sorry for your loss and for all of the emotional turmoil you must be going through............... But we're gonna need that 900 bucks now." It's a sympathy-free world :( FYL!!!

This stuff pisses me off. Dont ask someone to marry you OR say YES if you arent absolutely certain you want to spend YOUR LIFE with that said person.

I suggest u still have a party in celebration that u didn't get married lol
