[quote=Anonymous]Of course they should "have it all".  Isn't that peachy?  Of course the future IL's won't have their precious son skimp on a wedding.  Since they are not paying for it, anything goes!!  I would pull the reins quick OP.  If they want a glorious, tacky show then they need to pony up.  I love how people describe a wedding as "beautiful" when they can't afford the opulence.  The bridal couple are skipping a honeymoon so they can afford a house?  What is wrong with this?  They should scale back the wedding and put that money toward their home.  I had a simple elegant wedding.  It was paid for equally by us, my parents and my ILs.  I have wonderful memories of it.  We even got a little honeymoon and we put a down payment on our home.  No one was in debt after.  A wedding lasts a few hours, but these type of spending decisions will come back to bite them in the butt.  I laugh because the parents that didn't want their child "saddled" with school loans, don't mind the kids spending $30,000 on a wedding they can't afford.  [/quote]
