Help! My fiance and I originally planned to have a small, country themed, DIY, back yard wedding. His parents graciously offered up their large back yard for us to use. Then they offered to pay for all the tables, chairs, and ther DJ. Then they told us not to worry about the centerpieces, they would take care of it....next thing you know they've hired a decorator and catering and a bartender, all the while telling us not to worry about it they'd take care of it.
Here we are 4 weeks away from the wedding and now they are asking my parents to pay them for half of everything they purchased. My parents are very modest and don't make much money. They are already pitching in as much as they can for the cake/desserts, photography, and rehearsal dinner (amongst other things). I don't know what to do here. I'm mad that they are bugging my parents for the money when we never even asked for any of this stuff, they volunteered and made it sound like they were covering the cost! They also refuse to accept any money from us.
Advice?
