Well I guess the best way to fund a wedding is actually to save for it but my partner and I are both unemployed at the moment and I honestly don't think we will be able to save. It seems as soon as we get a bit of money together something happens to rip a chunk out of our savings.
So I seriously think the best way to finance our wedding is to borrow. We will need to borrow €4 - €5k and the idea is to pay that back over 5 years. But, with both of us out of work the chances are probably extremely slim that we will be able to borrow.
Does anybody have any experience of borrowing for a wedding, especially a similiar amount, while unemployed? Is it possible at all or will we get nothing but doors closed in our faces? If it is possible which avenue do you think would be likely to be the most suitable; credit union loan, personal loan, or even credit card? (Credit card seems a bit 'out there' but I have heard it suggested on money saving websites.)
Bottom line; we are looking for a €5k loan, repayable over 5 years and (of course) with the lowest rate of interest possible. It might not matter a jot that it's for a wedding but I thought maybe it would because it's very much a one-off 'purchase'. I'd appreciate people's thoughts and suggestions, even if your thoughts are 'you're crazy'!
