Actually somewhat WR.

When we were planning the wedding, my MIL and FIlL started talking about how they were going to plan the RD and everything, which was fine. One less thing that I had to plan.

I was never made aware of the expenses for the dinner, decisions, nothing. I was told where it was going to be and what the theme was.

So my family paid for half of the wedding and his paid for half of the wedding. While I have no problem if they wanted the money to come out of the half they were giving to us, they never told me this and never told me how much it was until just this morning.

Do you think it's odd that they never told me how much it was going to be if it was going to come out of the budget?

I guess I'm glad it wasn't some big, fancy, ritzy dinner. And PS: I just posted to see what the general concensus is. I think it's strange, and wondered if others thought it was strange, too.

I guess I think it's odd, but many people consider the RD part of the wedding budget, so they might have thought it was implied since it kind of all came out of the same money.

Why did they decide to bring it up now?

Are they asking for reimbursement or something?

Did this really need a poll? You want to AW this story, whatever it is about, fine. Who cares whether random people think its odd or not.

It's boredom, Nebb.  

We're settling some of the financial aspects of the wedding from my family to his, and they threw that in under their expenses.

I think it's odd. but it makes sense since they already gave you money that they'd assume that money would cover it, but they should have told you how much it would be so you could budget it in there!

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Well yeah, I'd consider it a part of the wedding.

I think its odd that they planned something you had NO say in. Maybe because my FMIL told us to "plan whatever you want and we'll pay for it" after FI offered to come up with a few options for her. We're still going to do something she "approves" of, though, since the FILs will be the hosts. (I.e. tasteful and traditional.)
