It’s sad they still are so proud that they didn’t get “cheated” by that wedding when in reality it means they’ve missed out on both their sons’ weddings. And they will probably never have DIL goodwill. Penny wise and pound foolish. Try to use money to control your kids and it will backfire. They are wealthy, but usually alone.
We eloped for similar reasons. My ILs were so controlling and demanding about wedding plans that we eventually said “eff it” and eloped. It was a prelude of things to come as they were incredibly difficult when the kids were small as well. Married almost 20yrs now.
