[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why didn't your parents pay for your wedding? It's sad you're still mad about this and jealous of your sister in law. Be mad at your broke parents if you want to be mad at someone.[/quote]

[b]If her ILs were wealthy and could have paid, why did they not? [/b] Didn't they love their son as much and want to celebrate his marriage?  Clearly not. I doubt OP would be holding a grudge if her ILs could not afford to fund their wedding. ILs favor their daughter over their son.

That said, OP, I get it. However, [b]we did put our wedding partially on our credit card, had a buffet lunch instead of a sitdown dinner and no other events except a meal after the rehearsal paid by my ILs.[/b] It was hard to see my ILs give SIL a very expensive wedding five years later to a man that ended up ruining her and her kids' lives because of his instability (apparent when she married him). In retrospect, I don't regret the wedding but [b]it would have put us on better financial footing to just have a small ceremony with my school's pastor in my hometown then the one in DH's to please his parents.[/b] [/quote]

How wealthy could they be if their son took out loans for college?

Your wedding location and scale was your choice, if you paid for it.[/quote]
