FI parents told us right off the bat they will be contributing to our wedding the same amount they contributed to FBIL wedding. They have said everything is fine as long as we are spacing out the payments. Well we are now 5 months out and FI keeps telling them we do not have any more deposits to pay and they can pick the caterer or the entertainment to start making paymetns to.
Today I get an email from the entertainment group that they did not recieve the deposit check FMIL told me she sent out in July. Now I am waiting for her to get home from work so we can have the "are you sure you can afford this talk." Ugh. She is always busy and stressed out to the max, so to track down a check (if she sent it) will take forever.
Everything is about money to them which is why I relly hate bringing it up and seeming to be like them. I really just watned something FI and I could afford however with all of the people we HAVE to invite from their side we have to have this money to make this wedding work. I really don't care, I would be happy going to the court house. Just want this to be over with.
Thankfully we would not be out much if we dumped our plans now, and I have not sent out STD's yet...
Here's hoping we get a definite answer- either way.
