Today, six weeks before my wedding, my mother decided to claim that she never agreed on paying for it and that she doesn't think she will. Now I have six weeks to scavenge enough cash for the wedding she planned in the first place. FML

I would uninvite her until she puts up the cash

And that's why you should always have a backup. Try your dad.

Go to City Hall and tie the knot for a few bucks, then throw the biggest party you can actually afford. You'd be an idiot to plunge yourself into debt to execute your demented mom's garish, ostentatious affair. Money problems are the #1 cause of divorce. Do you want to start off your marriage with crushing debt?

It never ceases to amaze me how crazy people act when it comes to weddings. Your Mom kinda screwed you over OP but in the big picture a wedding is 1 day - the marriage is the rest of your life. Scale back as much as you can & pay for it yourself. Don let anyone control you with money. No matter what enjoy your special day

Change your plans & have a smaller wedding. Un-invite your mum.

My husbands parents agreed to help, and when we started planning and putting down deposits they backed out. So we cancelled that wedding, cause we didn't want it, we did it to make them happy, and planned our own. If they wanted to come they could. We had a destination wedding and they came. They spent more on coming to the destination wedding then they would have if they would have helped after they offered. But in the end my husband and I were happier with this wedding. Plan a wedding that you want, not what others want.

How many husbands do you have? Are you old school Mormon?

while I do agree that if she offered to pay for the wedding, she should follow through. But why on earth would you allow someone else to plan YOUR wedding? my wedding is in July, and my husband (we are already married) has paid for almost all of it, I paid for some with my tax refund because I am a stay at home mom. I would never ask my parents or his to help pay for it. Grow up and pay for your own wedding. You decided to get married, your parents most likely didn't arrange for you to be married.

Some people can't afford a ceremony but want to get hitched. So they do one later

actually not because we couldn't afford a ceremony, we had set our wedding date, and found out that my mom (who had been very sick for 13 years) only had up to 6 months left. our wedding date was 6 months away and her only wish was to see one of her 3 daughters get married. I did not want to risk or regret her missing the wedding, so we married in her hospital room on Jan 27th and she passed on Feb 17th. I had and took the opportunity to make her a very happy mommy. she got to give me away (so to speak)

I smell an un-invited letter coming your moms way.
