    Just wanted to share! So, I am paying for our wedding photography, because my parents would never understand spending thousands of dollars on photography and I didn't want to deal with trying to convince them that it was worth it. FI and I are both in college (and being supported by our parents until we graduate) and I have a part time job but he does not. 

    We have worked out a deal with our photographer where I am sending her monthly payments instead of having to pay all at once - which is working out wonderfully. The only problem is, I work as a tutor at a local elementary school and I'm paid through work study from my school, so I won't be able to work for half of December and half of January. I was freaking out about how I was going to be paying for January's installment, because each payment is basically one of my paychecks. It was basically going to wipe out my entire bank account to have to pay for January! FI talked to his mom about how I was stressed about it and she's sending me a check to cover January! I am so excited and SO grateful that I don't have to stress over this anymore!

    What a great lady!  She sounds like my mom.  It's great to know she's there for you in a crunch.
