<prompt> Human: Hey all!So, Im getting married in 8 months and my fiance and I can tell that we wont have the money to make it an even decent wedding without some help. Student loans, rent, and bills galore eat up all my income and shes still in school until august. Basically we need a little loan and I really dont know anything about whats good and whats not.The first place I looked was the bank I have my main checking account with and they said they could give me a 5k thats the amount the fiance and I decided on at as low as 8.94 on a 5 year term.Is that pretty good assuming I can get a that low?Ive also read talk on hear about credit unions and how they might be better but I really have no idea about anything like that.Just looking for a little advice from you all since youve always seemed so helpful in other posts Ive read here over the years!Edit: Wow. Definitely wasnt expecting this kind of response. I will try to get back to you guys one by one. I really do appreciate the adviceEdit 2: Lots of very 1-sided advice here which lends me to believe that a major change in my thinking is required. Im going to put the loan talks on hold and have a serious talk with my fiance.Thanks a lot for your advice, Im taking it to heart!Keep on keeping on friends.  <response>: Dont borrow money to hold a wedding.
