[quote=Anonymous]I know in the end, this doesn't really matter, but can't help feeling slighted that inlaws are paying significant money for my bil's wedding but they watched me struggling to gather up money to pay for my small 5k wedding.  A little history: both DH and I are from the same country. His parents are wealthy and together. Mine are divorced and poor. When it was time for me to get married I had a very humble wedding. They payed for nothing. They knew money was an issue. Fast forward, dh's brother is marrying an American girl higher class but not wealthy. Her parents are divorced but aren't as poor as mine. They are helping her pay for her wedding but she wants more extravagant, so now my inlaws are putting about 7-10k in to help. I think it's so they can impress her family. This hurts me. They didn't seem to care about impressing my poor family but are jumping hurdles to impress hers. I try to not compare but it's hard. Any suggestions how to get pass and not hold onto this. I don't want to resent but I'm already starting. [/quote]
