[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that each side should offer a check, and let the couple figure it out from there.
I got married 9 years ago, and my mother in law announced after our engagement that "she would be paying for the weddings of her daughters, and not for her son."
FIL, divorced from MIL, asked if he could pay for the welcome dinner, and invite a larger number of his extended family. I thought that was fair and thoughtful of him. 
MIL refused to give a penny, and continued to add to the guest list even after we set a cut off date.
My parents happily gave us an amount that they felt comfortable giving, and DH and I contributed the rest.

[b]I lost a ton of respect for MIL from that process, which was informative. It showed that she was interested in taking and never contributing. It proved true for the duration of our marriage.[/b] [/quote]

Agree.  This is totally some BS my MIL would pull - away from other people who think she is "great" of course.
