Re: Nightmare In-laws
Don't get your fiance involved - the poor thing is in the middle and should not have to choose between taking your side or his parents. As you should not be expected to his side over your parents.
This is between your parents and his parents - get them to sort it out between themselves.
As for the venue for the walima, that's totally their decision. The walima reflects them, so it;s their decision whether they want to pay £10/$10 per head or £100/$100 per head.
