[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t go. Di merry there will easily be $200/pp. you are looking at another few thousand for food and wine tastings. [/quote]

Man, I feel sorry for the groom to be.  Hope he knows what he is getting into.[/quote]

Exactly. Spending upwards of 4K for a wedding is insane. People have wedding budgets for the same price. This is all pretentious and disgusting. [/quote

It's irrelevant. PEople can spend whatever they want n their wedding. OP doesn't want to pay the expense, that's fine. She doesn't go.  She also is unlikely to get her $800 deposit back.[/quote]

Yes, people can spend whatever they want to on their wedding. Expecting people to spend whatever you want for your wedding is definitely relevant. This is the incredibly inconsiderate part.[/quote]

Actually no it isn't. It's not OP's wedding so she has no say in the expense so going on about a wedding being too much is irrelevant. It also isn't OP's place to tell her cousin what she thinks is acceptable for her to spend so also irrelevant.

OP can let her cousin know that the cost to attend is greater than she anticipated and she will have to back out due to budget, be gracious about it ie not turn it into a crusade against extravagant weddings, and not ask for the $800 that she  agreed too.  Wishe her cousin well and move n.[/quote]
