[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I really appreciate all your input.  I have been thinking about this a lot.  Planning the wedding with my daughter has been such a joy.  It will only bring us closer.  And, we don't have to deal with any input from the groom's side.
I want this wedding to be all everything my daughter wants within reason.  She has a sense of the cost of things.  I was thinking about when babies come (I can't wait!!) I again will be the nurturer!
So, we have no equity left in our home!
Can you tell the antidepressants are working! LOL[/quote]

Is that seriously you, OP? No more equity left in your house? You can't be a nurturer if you spend all your money and then need to rely on your daughter financially later. Bad, bad idea.[/quote]

I'm a mom and if your DD's wedding is draining equity out of your home then NOTHING DD WANTS is within reason.   Yes I'm shouting.  I also have a brother and sons so I'm a SIL, potential MIL to a bride, etc.

A basic tradition is /was the groom's family picks up the bar bill.

Reading the post about no equity in your home suggests to me that you are paying for a wedding you cannot afford so perhaps the groom's family is correct in not offering cash at this point.    Something is odd here.
