So a few weeks back I posted about how my future in-laws are hosting the rehearsal dinner (awesome!), but FI told me they could only afford wedding party and not their s/o's. And I knew it was rude not to invite s/o's so I had a dilemma, which you all helped me with. (thanks again!) And I suggested cheaper venues to her, but she really wanted to go to a nice place. We met with a couple of possible venues last week. And guess what? It turns out my future MIL was planning on inviting s/o's all along! And I talked with FI about it after, asking him why he told me they couldn't afford it. And his response? I don't remember telling you that! Oh for the love. So I was stressing for 3 weeks about something that was a non-issue.
