    We have to pay 25 per cent six months before, the other 25 per cent four months before and final installment two months before.

    18 months is a huge amount of time to rebook the date.

    What is their availability like for around the same date THIS year? This will give you some idea of whether they could feasibly re-book it or not.

    They do actually have to make an effort to re-advertise and the costs can be deducted from your deposit.

    Just speak to them and discuss your options. Negotiate. Is there no chance your partner will get another job soon?

    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Why are you not getting married?

    Just do it on the cheap. The relationship is the important part, not the wedding day.
  • We still plan to marry, but are having to ditch the extravagant party for a simple one.
