Cultural clash over how much to spend when NO ONE is in a position to provide the fairytale (including the bride's family) that is "expected" by "The Family."  Not starting one's life in larger debt than that already incurred by school and personal constraints are immaterial to "The Family."  How to promote sanity so that the moment of love is not lost in this anticipated hoopla.  Thanks

  • Plan the wedding you and your fiance can afford, with just you and your fiance.  People can't criticize plans you don't tell them about.

    If said B & G are seeking financial assist due to "Fairytale" dreams by Moms, not because they want to, then it seems like a recipe for disaster for the rest of their lives...

    This is hard to understand. Are you getting charged per word or something?
  • From your OP, sounds like bride and groom need to be adults and tell "The Family" they are having the wedding they can afford, not what someone else expects.
