[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your sister needs to contact the B&B and read the fine print of the contract.  She should pay whatever needs to be paid to cancel the event, but depending on how far in the future the event is, it may just be a matter of forfeiting the deposit.

And then I think you need to stay out of it, unless your niece comes to you directly to complain.  In that case, you should say that you understand that she is upset and angry, and that your sister should not have made a promise she couldn't keep.  However, the best thing she can do is let that go and work on planning a wedding that she can afford.  Offer to help, if you can--researching new venues, offering whatever DIY skills you have, etc.  [/quote]

Yes, do this.

The more you get sucked in, the more *you* will be expected to pay!

It's beyond shameful that your sister pulled this fast one on her own daughter. I got married at 23, and would have been shocked to hear that my parents could not afford to pay their agreed portion of my wedding, despite their promises. It's such a breach of trust.

Your niece did nothing wrong here. Plenty of people marry responsibly at that age. If the invitations haven't been sent out yet, perhaps the best thing to do would be to postpone the wedding for a bit, until the animosity dies down. The moral of the story is that she can't trust her mother (sad).
