[quote=Anonymous]So, one of my nieces is getting married soon and having a destination wedding. Her parents are wealthy. The rest of the family is not; we are solidly middle class, maybe some of us are upper middle class, but we all work and putting are kids through preschool and college, etc.. But all their friends are and everyone they run around with is. Quite wealthy, in fact.

So, the hotel where they're having the festivities is $400 a night. There is pressure to stay 3-4 nights and that is just way out of our budget. We have to fly there; we have kids and the kids are going to be in the wedding (we haven't even gotten to the cost of dressing them up and getting hair done, etc.) I don't begrudge them having money, but I do think they should have considered having a second hotel somewhere close where those of us who don't have what they have can stay without breaking the bank. We can certainly find our own place to stay, but I think they will be offended.

We have some time to figure all this out; the wedding isn't for awhile, but man, I guess I'm just surprised at how clueless they are. Our niece's father made some snarky comment about the cost of the hotel, saying 'been awhile since you stayed in a hotel, huh?'

Um, no, but ever heard of a Marriott?
