May 2013 Weddings

No Deposit/ Just venting

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.

Re: No Deposit/ Just venting

  • Hopefully it's just a case of a lost check, and not that she never sent it.  I think that'd be a lot easier to deal with.
  • Ick what an akward situation. I agree that I hope she actually did send it, although a lost check would suck as well. lol Good luck talking to her!

  • Re-reading my post I realize it came off wrong. I did not mean it to sound like I thought FMIL didn't send the check or do anything malicious. The reason I am worried about them having the money is they have a business they started only 2 years ago and things are tight. I honeslty do not want to strap them for cash and make them feel obligated. I just also hate bringing up money, but they offered it.

    Come to find out- the check went trough so I am waiting to hear back from the company...

    Also found out that FI told me we were getting more than we actually are from his parents, and he took $300 out of that amount in cash for "wedding stuff" that I have NO clue what it was used for!! This is a serious chunk of change out of my budget. Thankfully we haven't sent the save the dates out so I took 50 people off my list and got the total guest list under 250. FI's list can't be paired down because he keeps telling people he is inviting them verbally, and then wonders why I tell him they can't be taken off the list... So back to the budgeting and drawing board... Hopefully there is something else I can do without...
