This right there my friend is pointing to possible trouble ahead. I hate to say it yet again but your inlaws may have incomes 16x, 60x or 160xs yours … understand that ALLL of that income is THEIRS to spend as THEY wish. Your friends weddings with bells n whistles OR what you would do IF you had the spare income is pretty irrelevant.
You know your finances … they sound quite confusing to me … but you know them. plan accordingly. clear your head of expectations. dont be a doormat for unrealistic requests that your in-laws might make. when the time comes .. you/your mom need to be polite and gracefully explain whats possible/doable for you.
Please do not be impressed/swayed/buried under the obligation of expensive gifts … they like you for who you are.

doesnt anyone go for small, elegant intimate weddings filled with people who genuinely care anymore? :hinna:

anyhow, good luck with everything … i hope it all goes according o your plans.

Thanks ehl-e-chamman, we’ll be politely requesting them to consider splitting the cost.
