[quote=Anonymous]My relative just paid for a big fat wedding that the groom and the groom's family did not contribute to. There is a lot of resentment about it. The fact that the groom's side is financially incapable and unwilling also tracks with other factors - family dysfunction, low education, and low SES in the groom's family and friends. My relative is reacting to that more than the wedding finances part. The bride has chosen a man who does not have a solid support system in his social network, he will always have issues with crisis of one sort or another among family and friends etc. There are no guarantees in life but parents want some assurance that their child is marrying into a functional family where people value education and have good careers/income to support their families. No one wants their offspring married into a family where everyone is living paycheck to paycheck. [/quote]
