So over the holiday my FMIL sat down with us to hear about our wedding plans. She seemed shocked by some of our decisions, ie minimal floral, casual rehearsal dinner etc.
Several weeks later she called and said that she & my FFIL would like to throw us a formal rehearsal dinner. This was all fine and dandy until we gave her the guest count for the rehearsal dinner, about 45.
She said that was way too many, and that traditionally it was only the bridal party and the parents that attended. We agreed to look at the list again, however I was unwilling to budge on my grandparents (only 2) as they raised me more than my actual parents did, and I would sooner refuse the rehearsal dinner than not invite them.
I was fine making a few cuts until I found out she had no intentions of cutting my FI's Grandmother or his aunt and uncle and cousins. This is where I put my foot down we would either be equal on both sides with the cuts or we would politely decline the rehearsal dinner.
After my FI talked to her some more she agreed to our original guest list, however she is still a little upset.
Was I in the wrong for expecting the cuts to be even on both sides, even though his family is paying?
