[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, my sister and BIL are pretty bad with financial management.  They have lots of credit card debt they have been carrying for years as well as using personal loans. It's one of the reasons my sister thought nothing of taking out a a loan to pay for the wedding.  When her DH found out about her offering to take out a loan he stepped in and said no way could they do that at this point.  They already are taking out loans for college.  My niece wanted to ask her grandparents for money (my BIL's parents) but she can't because they are already giving money for both girls to attend college.

I did tell my sister last night that she needs to tell my niece that she can't contribute or pay as much as she thought and she needs to tell her right now. My sister was crying to me on the phone because my niece and her got in a big fight once my sister told my niece said she can't afford to pay the deposit for the caterer right now.

My sister has paid the one deposit to secure the location which is a B&B.  According to my niece, the agreement is to rent out the entire B&B for a weekend and that the agreement is non-refundable and non-changeable so they have to go through with the agreement. They also say you have to use certain caterers and equipment rentals places as well. I am not sure if this is all true or if perhaps my niece is misunderstanding the agreements or if she just don't want to change the plans at this point.

And yes, they are both really young and if it was my child, I would have encouraged them to wait a while to get engaged and married.  [/quote]
