Hey guys! I need some advice here! My wedding is July 4th and we decided to postpone till next Spring. My FFIL is very sick with cancer and so his parents can no longer commit to paying for a rehearsal dinner that far out. Then my fiancé is having some financial trouble because his income is reliant upon his corporate housing company - which is taking a loss right now. Anyways when I called the hotel we booked the rehearsal dinner at to cancel (two days before the next deposit of $1,250 is due) they told me we owe 70% of the food and beverage minimum. So I owe another $1,100 on top of the $625 already paid... I stupidly signed the contract for the rehearsal dinner because my FMIL couldn't figure out how to e-sign and his parents are refusing to pay the remaining cancelation balance due and are blocking the payment on their credit card. I feel so stressed out!! If we credit the deposit to May the rehearsal dinner estimate is $5,000+ and we don't want to be on the hook for that. I also don't want the hotel to take me to collections over something I was never supposed to pay for in the first place! We also have a room block - 15 rooms booked with the hotel currently which we were going to move to May. What advice would you give? Should I be worried?
Thanks guys!
