H2b no longer wants to get married

Whirlwind of emotions here so be kind.
Back in January we had a registry office and reception venue booked, whole thing was going to be no more than £600 but the reception venue done us over and we had no choice but to cancel it. Before I had booked this though, h2b did say he'd rather wait until we were in a better financial position. We lightly discussed it but I went ahead and booked it Blush
In may, we found a new venue. The contract wasn't signed until July however, due to get married in October and now it's come out that h2b is in a bad strop about the whole thing, doesn't want to do it as it's too expensive, doesn't want to take any interest in it and I'm just so sad.
I feel like I've pushed him into something he didn't want Sad aibu? I don't know what to do now!

You sound like you've railroaded him a bit. He wanted to wait, doesn't like the venue, but you've pushed on regardless. Now his only choices are letting you do exactly what you want, ignoring him, or cancel the whole thing and risk splitting up.

Well I spoke to him, I didn't blackmail him either like somebody else nicely suggested Hmm I simply said that it wasn't a case of either or, if he had changed his mind about the wedding we had options other than going ahead with it.
I wrote everything down again,not little things like 5 quid earrings but bigger purchases. We are just over 2,000 but our parents will help us a tiny bit. We aren't having any extreme extras and there's no room to cut back. I did enquire to the venue and registry office about switching dates but there'd have been a further charge, combined with vat prices both would have gone up by a few hundred.
So in short we are still getting married next year :) thanks for all the helpful comments that have grounded me! I realise I probably have been swept up in planning!

Great news to read, OP. I like when there are happy endings like this.
