OH is not good with money!

[katehappy]

so me and OH are getting married June 19th. he's been going to school since mid-february. since he moved to where his school is, I've loaned him 1,000+ out of the wedding account to help move, rent, food money, gas money, etc.. he found a job right away but it took a long time for them to complete the hiring process and put him to work. but I was relieved he had a job because I thought, oh thank god, now I don't have to worry about covering the wedding by myself, because my parents can help out a little, but they are strapped for cash also. same thing with his parents.
so yesterday he texts me out of the blue and says 'I just quit home depot.' I asked why and he said they told him they had him scheduled for weekends, he said that he couldn't work weekends and he was getting married on a weekend in june, and they said well what do you want to do, quit? and he said I guess I have to.
it doesnt really bother me that he quit because I know he hated that job, and I know he can't work weekends because he has to come up on weekends to visit me, to get his tux for the wedding, for our pre-marriage class, and then the wedding. but I wish he would have waited to find another job!
I want to find out if he is out getting apps and trying to get another one today, or if he's just sitting at home playing games, but he hasn't texted me back or answered my call grrr.
so far I have paid off my wedding gown, all 3 of the bridesmaids have their dresses, the flower girl has her dress, my parents bought the invitations and most of them have been mailed out, and the places for the wedding/reception have been reserved.
but he still needs to afford his tux, plus I need to buy garters, ring pillow, toasting flutes, serving set, gifts for the maids/groomsmen, we need to reserve the chairs/tables for the reception and get a dj, I need to be able to afford a hair appointment for that day, plus new makeup and jewelry, plus decorations, plus the paper plates/plastic cups and things for the reception, plus the favors, decorating kit for the car, and my parents are buying the veil and things to make the cake, plus food for the reception, which wont be that bad because we have food stamps.. his mother is paying for the flowers.
but I only have about $200 in my savings left, I have a $60 paycheck coming at the end of this month, at the end of may I should recieve $500 and I bigger paycheck, also he is supposed to get a tax return of $1,000 plus some more fafsa money, but I seriously doubt those things are going to come in time.
and his rent is due on the first, which is $341 and I know he only paid half of it and has no other way to pay it, and the marriage license is $70.
Im starting to freak out. I don't know how we're going to afford the wedding.

ok so I just called him and he said he was at his school looking at the job department. that is a huge relief because at least he understands that he needs to get on this. I hope hes not in a shitty mood because my dad texted him all the names of these job agencies.
Im just really starting to get worried.

Is there any way you could go to a school to get hair/makeup done? That could really ease the financial strain?

I would look into family/friends and ask to borrow things. I know it can be hard but you really don't want to start out your life together in debt, you know? Maybe check around for mutual friends or someone who could get you a much lower price on tables/chairs, etc. But good to hear that your fiance is looking for jobs. Though I agree, it probably would have been best to wait to quit until he had another one lined up!
