[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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. [b]I am really shocked at for how many of you, money seems to buy love[/b]. There is a whole other world out there people, a world where some can not afford everything. [/quote]

Show me one single poster who said money buys love.  All that's been said is at don't really matter, and enjoy the wedding.  [/quote]

You are focusing on us saying money buys love when you should be asking yourself why you think material things (like your name on the invite) buys love. Isnt that the same thing?
