    Is anyone else looking for a second job to help pay for the wedding? I am paying for the majority of my wedding and lately it is hitting me that I need to bring in more money to get everything I want. I make a good salary, but with my other bills I still can't save enough to pay for the wedding of my dreams. Yes, I know that I could just cut back on the wedding--but this is a once in a lifetime kinda day, and I want it all, lol. And I don't want to create any debt. I don't mind working a part-time job--I have done it before. I just wanted to see if anyone else was looking at this option.

    DH ended up getting a second job. His option paid much more than mine did. I don't have a degree in anything that can be done PT or at night. I would figure out how much extra you could make and see if it's worth your while. I did somethings for my wedding that I could have done without but I don't regret it at all.

    I kind of have to.  J has been laid off and it doesn't look like anyone will hire him any time soon.

    No, but we're alright on money. I probably would. Make sure you weigh the extra money against the lack of free time, FI and I started getting greedy and working too much and then we realized we missed each other too much and it wasn't worth it.

    I work part time at a bridal salon on the weekends and I also sell on ebay. I make a good salary, but I just don't like the idea of depleting my savings for a wedding. I rather earn that money elsewhere. FI doesn't work a second job because he is in school completing a second degree.

    I tutored more children than normal during the summer prior to the wedding to make extra $.  It definitely helped!
