I can't afford the dress I want for a wedding.
I can't afford this dress I want for a wedding I have to attend. I tried to save up for it but it didn't work out for me.

Oh no! Can you find a different, less expensive dress? Or borrow one from a friend?

That's what I'm going to do but I did have my heart set on that one! It was beautiful!
user
Ah, well I'm sorry it didn't work out. But, at least you have other options!
assistant
Yeah, I'll get over it and have a good time anyway! That's what matters.
