I’m under pressure to wed in church

My parents are exerting pressure on us to have a church wedding. We have been customarily married for seven years and have two children. The problem is that we are struggling through life trying to educate our children and make it through life. Our incomes are barely enough to meet our day-to-day needs. They have put an ultimatum for end of this year, but I know we are not ready for this financially. They don’t seem to understand that even though friends may chip in, we have to bear the greater financial responsibility. This is taking a toll on my husband. How can I help in sorting this out?
