He should understand that you are saving money for what should be the most important day of your life. If he can't understand your plight, then you should reconsider loaning the money to him.
BTW - are you the only person he asked or did he try to borrow money from other family members as well??

As far as I know, he has asked another Relative (female) to help, since she is technically an owner of the property as well (the money is needed for WAY back-due property taxes). Relative has two sons, the older of whom is starting ninth grade at a private school in September -- and I am presuming that to hold his place, they have already had to make some type of deposit.
From what I've been told, Relative has asked a Friend to loan Family Member the money. But Friend has asked (quite reasonably) when to expect repayment. Relative and Friend have been known each other for years, and I would hate to see Family Member's failure to take care of business ruin their friendship.
If I find out that he's called my 74-year-old grandmother begging, I'm putting my foot up his butt!
