[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not even sure what to title this.

I was married 10 years ago at 23. Dh and I had dated for 5 years and had a lovely wedding that cost us 45k in DC. We skimped on a lot for ourselves but went all out on food, alcohol and venue for our 200 guests (mostly close family). I think no one expected it to be a nice wedding. No one helped us plan,  no one threw us a shower, no one came wedding dress shopping. Dhs parents ended up paying for the rehearsal dinner but we didn’t know that beforehand so it was only $200 for pizzas in our house (we planned what we could afford and I couldn’t afford 2k for maggianos). My parents gave us 15k afterwards which we were so grateful for. But my parents have told everyone over and over they paid for my entire wedding. I feel like every time they say that it diminishes the 30k of my own money that I paid while eating ramen for years.

[b]I have since thrown 4 showers for our siblings and cousins and have been to at least 9 family weddings.. My mom is nagging me to throw another shower for a cousin getting married this year. [/b]I’m just so annoyed at it all. My MIL has been spending all her weekends helping a different cousin with her wedding crafts. MIL makes elaborate grooms cakes for all her family’s weddings. They completely paid for their daughters weddings and threw them showers.

I just feel such a chip on my shoulder and I hate that I feel this way. I can’t seem to get over it though. I loved my wedding but I felt a bit abandoned by our families beforehand.[/quote]

Stop doing this stuff!! No one is making you.  You’re a grown woman. Just say no!  [/quote]
