“Broke” Nick Lachey Vanessa Minnillo Can’t Afford Dream Wedding

A cash-strapped Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are putting their wedding plans on hold until the size of their wallets can compare to the depth of their love. Together since 2007, the lovin’ twosome is finally ready to tie the knot — but they can’t afford the splashy dream wedding they have their hearts set on, insiders told The National Enquirer this week.

“It’s frustrating,” says a pal of the couple, who asked to remain anonymous. “They finally made the big decision to spend the rest of their lives together, and now a cash flow issue seems to be standing in the way of their dream wedding.”


Nick, 36, was expecting to pay for the ceremony with the advance he was due to take in from the release of his upcoming album, Coming Up For Air. That plan fell through after Nick’s label shelved the project indefinitely.

“He was crushed. Now almost all his money is tied up in that project.”

For now, Nick is surviving with the help of hosting gigs. (Maybe he can replace Simon on American Idol? God knows everyone else is throwing a hat in the ring…..)

The bride-to-be’s bank accounts are just as bare. The ex-Miss Teen USA quit her job as a MTV VJ to pursue a career in acting — but the big roles just haven’t been coming, says the spy. Vanessa, now 29, is said to be “desperately looking for working” and learning to “pinch pennies” in order to stay afloat financially. N&V have even taken to flying coach when they can’t afford first class seating.

(Can you imagine the horror?!)

A former MTV Newlywed, Nick turned his marriage to singer/actress Jessica Simpson into a cash-generating machine. Friends say the crooner is discouraged that he can’t give Vanessa an equally-beautiful wedding.

“It is as if neither one of them has the money to pay for an extravaganza….”

______________

Nick has money? *deaD*

Personally, I don't see them having a extravagant wedding. I see it as low key elegant with family and friends. Nick is really into his family and is crazy about his brother's kids. They seem to be casual people..

From what I can see of that ring, it's gorgeous!

Vanessa's ring is reportedly valued at $125,000 Asscher-cut (otherwise known as Princess cut) diamond with baguettes from Bader & Garrin the center diamond is about 3 karats and the two trapezoid shaped diamonds on the side of are reportedly 1/2 karat each

uhmmmmm... this reporter obviously doesn't know diamond cuts. Asscher and Princess are not the same thing.

I doubt not having enough money for a "dream wedding" is going to stop them from getting married lol. They seem like the type of people that are down to earth. They probably have decent money, too, and I'm betting the article is b.s.

Ditto.

And even if they were broke (not that I believe it) they are still famous enough for OK or one of those magazines to buy some wedding/honeymoon pictures for a little pocket change

Newly engaged couple Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo soak in the sun on a beach in Mexico on Saturday (November 6).

Nick and Vanessa both share the same birthday, November 9. This Tuesday, Nick will turn 37 while Vanessa will celebrate her 30th. Happy early birthday, you two!

On Thursday, the happy couple confirmed their relationship status: “We’re excited and incredibly happy about our engagement and we look forward to a wonderful future together.”

Well, what can I say, they're both hotties and make a great couple so I wish them all the best

^^Ugh! I hate seeing celebs fry their beautiful skin... doesn't matter what SPF they have on. I have friends who used to do the same thing all the time, now they are spotted with dried flaky skin and premature wrinkles.

 

[BagOuttaHell]

Damn has he been working out.

Sheesh the plethora of jealousy and hate in this thread is despicable. This couple is not all up in the tabloids and seem like they really love and care about each other. No need to bash this lady because some would rather see Jess and Nick together. Jess and Nick have been over for eons. People need to build a bridge and get over it.

Damn has he been working out.

^They both have hot bodies!
