[quote=Anonymous]I never wanted a big wedding and I didn't expect anyone to pay for anything. However- my ILs always went on about how they didn't believe in old-fashioned traditions (no asking father for hand, etc) and my SIL was open about how they gave her NSA $$ when she got engaged to do with as she pleased and she used it for a big wedding. I felt bad for my DH when they gave him nothing, I assume since he was the groom... but also it made me feel like they didn't approve of our relationship. It put a weird taste in my mouth for sure and it has always been an awkward relationship since then. As long as I have the money I will be giving my children, regardless of gender, a set sum for whatever they wish. I think to expect to pay significantly less (or in our case, nothing) just because you have a son is odd unless you and your family are super traditional in other ways too, otherwise it seems like an excuse to show favor or be cheap.
