So this is probably going to sound horribly bratty but I just have to get it out.
When we were first engaged my dad and I sat down and talked about the wedding and budget. I showed him the numbers I was thinking it would take, just to see if he wanted to help at all. He told me he would cover the venue, most of the other stuff, and probably some of the HM too. Awesome! So then comes the time stuff needs to start being paid for, he gives me some money and I put down all the deposits. A couple months go by and we talk about the budget again. Keep in mind he had seen the numbers and said OK to them (they were around 10-15K). So we were going over everything again and he was like, I thought this whole thing would be done for about 6k? UMMMM WHAT? So he decides he is going to only give me about half of what we originally talked about! I know I shouldn't have counted on that money until I had it in hand, but it is too late for that now. I am just upset he committed to it and then backed out. I work for him and see him nearly every day. Earlier this week he decided to buy another classic hotrod and another carlift, just because he wanted it. And he keeps talking and talking about it. I know I cannot dictate how he spends his money but he backed out of what he committed to with me.
I never expected him to commit to pay for most of the wedding, but he did and then backed out. It is just frustrating. And to top that off my mom said she would pay for my dress, then told me this month she isn't going to be able to and I HAVE to order next month and we are trying to scrape together that money. It doesn't help FI lost his job last week =/
Sorry that was so long, I just needed to vent. I hope most of that makes sense.
