I have a question about whether or not you all think this is ok. FI's mother passed away in February. It was very unexpected and obviously its one day at a time. She was very adamant about doing a rehearsal dinner (it was going to be lunch actually) even though money was tight for them. However, we hadnt really started doing anything for it. Well a few weeks after the funeral, FIL looked at me and, with sort of a worried look, asked what exactly he was supposed to pay for. I told him dont worry about it, because I knew he didnt know anything about the rehearsal at all and money is obviously tighter now. So I still want (and think its necessary) to have a rehearsal, but it is not in anyone's budget to do a dinner or lunch afterwards. I dont feel right asking my parents to pay for it on top of everything else and Jason and I honestly cannot afford it. Do you think it would be ok to still have a rehearsal and invite everyone to go out with us, but have it be more of a normal night out where everyone pays for themselves?
