What if I have to postpone my wedding?
If you decide to postpone a wedding, usually the factors include several different things. Maybe you do have a financial hardship that you didn't expect, maybe you got laid off, maybe the person who is paying for the wedding got laid off, or maybe like we have mentioned before there is an illness, or maybe even it's one of those things where you're not necessarily sure if you're going to be getting married. Postponing a wedding is actually a lot easier than cancelling, so before you completely cancel, if part of you is still thinking I may, may get married, go ahead and postpone. Usually vendors will say, you can change your date with me up to a year as long as I have that date available. So check with that vendor. Let's say that you booked a wedding for January of 08 and you decide I'm going to wait until January of 09 -- well great, you're pushing it off, you're pushing it off -- just remember that if you decide that you're going to cancel, let them know as soon as possible. There are definite caveats to the contracts. If you decide to postpone, sometimes a vendor will say, well your contract with me said you were going to have a wedding on "x'' day, you postponed and now you're cancelling, so maybe they will keep the full amount of the money, so you definitely want to feel out both options.
