Looks like I might be going about this solo...
...I think he just called off the wedding.
I'm sort of in shock...

OMG. What happened? (Feel free to ignore that question as it really isn't any of our business.)
I hope things work out for the best, whatever that may be.

Yes losing money sucks, but its not the time to worry about it.
I know we all handle these things different, but I really think there are more important things here to try to salvage/think about other than the money lost... |

wow. I am sorry about the terrible blow. Its amazing how quickly life can rearrange things. Don't make any hasty decisions right now, let the dust settle- things might be in a state of flux now for a while where you dont know which way is up or down, left or right. But we are here for you, so feel free to vent or complain.

I guess I am going to try to write letters to the DJ, Photographer, Venue, ceremony musicians and cocktail musicians and see if I can get my deposits back...I doubt it since they are nonrefundable, but it is worth a shot.

Wow. That really sucks. Cold Feet?
10k....when was the wedding? Thats a lot of $$$ to be in. I made it a point of holding all cash until the bitter end. I kept prewritten out checks with my Maid of Honor and paid as I saw people show up. lol. My husband thought I was nuts.
Youre an excellent planner. You can handle anything!

If not, maybe you can get a credit to be used whenever you do get married, even if it is years away, or just throw some other kind of party. |

See if you cant get a "credit" towards something else. Then use your DJ as a gift to a friends wedding (kind of a nice gift!), a photographer for next christmas...ect. I have no idea if they would go for that, but I would if I was a vendor.
You just ended the wedding yesterday...wait to communicate with vendors until this is final final. Usually during the first week or 2 of a breakup, things are still uncertain.
your wedding is in September, you have time.

I guess one good thing is that I'm not going to suddenly have $140,000 of law school student loan debt.
That never bothered me though.

Sorry to hear about this.
Are you sure that you guys won't work things out? I'd hate to see you start cancelling everything for the wedding and then get back together in a couple weeks and not be able to get what you already had lined up.
