[quote=Anonymous]My parents really did not have money, so I didn't ask/expect any. My ILs were fairly well off by flyover standards yet my MiL was very clear that they were only paying for the rehearsal dinner as "that is all the groom's parents are obligated to do." Totally get that as that was their generation. We paid for the wedding out of our own pocket - married in middle of country so that helped tremendously with prices. ILs gave us a very generous wedding gift only for us to learn much later that it was not their money, but money that had been given to them by one set of the grandparents to give to their grandchildren on their wedding day. That kind of rubbed me wrong as it did DH. We weren't expecting a gift, but to then claim that their wedding gift was from them seems when it was really from one of their parents just seemed so weird to me. DH and I will offer to pay half, perhaps more if necessary. I don't want a family bankrupting themselves for a wedding.[/quote]
