To Postpone or not?

My fiancé brought up that he thinks we should postpone our November 16th wedding. We don’t have any savings, we have been cutting things from our lifestyle in order to pay for our wedding. We’re also doing a lot of DIY. Our photographer is fully paid off, I have my dress, our venue is over half paid off (must be paid off by September 16)
The reason he wants to postpone is because work hasn’t been as busy as he was expecting. I am a stay at home mom of two, so his job is our only income. However, I am coming into a good chunk of money mid August which will be enough to pay for what’s left of the wedding. I was planning to put the money into a savings account and also invest a portion of it.

I don’t know what to do. I get where my fiancé is coming from but I don’t want to postpone.
Thoughts? Advice?

If I were you, I would look over the contracts with the venue and photographer and see what it says about postponing dates. While financial woes aren't easy for you and your fiance, they're also not valid legal reasons that would void the contract.
I suggest you look at options to downsize the scope of your wedding to meet your current budget. Postponing the wedding could end up costing you more because you'd be subjected to new prices for 2025 vs 2024, and you would be on the hook for any cancellation fees.
