My family has paid for most of our wedding including: food, dress, venue, flowers, and invitations. I have paid for the videographer, coordinator, photobooth, and favors. My fiancee is paying for the rehursal dinner and his family is helping with nothing.
My fiancee and I live together and own our own home.
Today he gets mad at me because he says he didnt think we were paying anything for the wedding and if we are spending any money then we are spending too much. We both have good jobs, but right now we have two mortages, two car payments, a debt on our refridgerator and stove, and are raising his 17 year old nephew.
It really upset me when he got mad that I was spending my money on the wedding even though I pay my share of the bills. I feel like it is my savings and if I want to spend it on the wedding then I should be able too. I think it is redicoulus for him to think my famiy should pay for everything!
We should both be able to enjoy our "big day," but now I feel like its over shadowed by him only thinking about how much everything costs.
