So, I have no idea on this and am running into a problem. First, traditionally who takes care of the Groom/Rehearsal dinner (bride's side, groom's side, or bride and groom)? My parents are more then willing to pay and do not expect the FI and I to pay because we are helping where they have asked. My mom says (nicely to me) but traditionally the Groom's side takes care of this dinner. BUT now trying to explain this to my FI is not really happening. My FI and his dad have had some hard times in the past they are good now but I kinda wonder if my FI "is not getting it" because he does not want to ask his dad. But I feel bad because my mom keeps asking me on this so she knows...oh and instead of offering to help my parents out (on nothing keep in mind) my future Father-in-law told my FI that he will pay for our honeymoon. And I see and am thankful but am at a lost do I spell it out to my FI or do I just talk with my mom and say I do not think we can for lack of a better word count on my father-in-law and that me and my FI are more then happy to help out? Again, my parents are very nice and are not expecting anything but they are more on the traditional side and that is why the question keeps coming up
