So I see that, based on disneysteve's advice, you have to make up $6,500 for the wedding (does this also include a honeymoon?).
If you start saving in Feb., and need the money in August (cuz you usually have to pay in advance for most stuff), that gives you 6 months - that's basically $1,100 a month.
If your fiance worked as a waitress or something like that 4 days a week at 5 hours a day (ie part-time) and made (after taxes) $100 a week - she'd be able to contribute $400 a month, leaving you with $700. If you make (after taxes) $30 an hour, you'd need to work an extra 6 hours a week OT.
That sounds pretty doable and it would mean you'd have an extra month (August) to keep that up before the wedding for anything unexpected.
Hopefully that helps!
