My fiancée wants a dream wedding I can't afford or else...

Photo: Courtesy

We are due to get married in December and have been having wedding committee meetings to organize the wedding. My fiancée is putting too much pressure on everybody so that she can have the wedding of her dreams. We are both not financially stable, but this has not stopped her from fronting unusually expensive proposals even when cheaper options are available. She says our friends and families will contribute but even so, the amounts required from them will be enormous. I want to make her happy on that day, but I am pushed to the wall and our friends are already raising eyebrows on this issue. The budget so far is Sh560,000 and when I suggest cheaper options she threatens to boycott the wedding saying it is her wedding and she will have it the way she wants it. I don't know what to do and I am already contemplating quitting. Please help. {Frank}
