[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know three things that WOULD offend me?

1, if my MIL demanded we have a big wedding but wouldn't pay more than $1,500 for it.

2, if I went ahead and planned a traditional wedding at my MIL's insistence and she was complaining about the cost of attending my wedding (you said your son moved far away and met a girl, so even if this wasn't in Mexico I'm assuming you would be traveling far to her hometown).

3, I paid for a traditional wedding for my daughter that she didn't even really want and her future MIl threw a fit because she wanted her name on the invite even though she refused to pay for even the traditional groom stuff (rehearsal dinner and alcohol I think?)[/quote]

They aren't having a rehearsal dinner or wedding party. They're having the wedding in Mexico because they claim it's less expensive there than in the States. However, they vacation there twice a year so I think it's just that they like Mexico. Also, I haven't thrown a fit in any way. Only our immediate family knows how upset DH and I are about this, unless my son and DIL have told others. I didn't scream or yell, didn't threaten, etc. We are just hurt, that's all. I am really shocked at for how many of you, money seems to buy love. There is a whole other world out there people, a world where some can not afford everything. [/quote]
