[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH’s dad is an “old dad” worth something like $50M and he refused to offer us any money for a wedding because he said it was traditional for the bride’s family to pay (of course we didn’t ask directly but DH’s Mom did the digging for us. She said he balked at even the idea of it because of his generation). My dad is about as middle class as you can get so that wasn’t happening for us. We eloped instead and when the parents complained about not being able to show their friends elaborate wedding pictures or invite their friends to “celebrate us” we said oh well sorry. [/quote] Much better choice. Why spend $250K+ on a one to two day event. Much better to put that towards a home/paying off student loans (if you have them). Unless parents can help with wedding and a downpayment, money can be better used elsewhere. [/quote]
