[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wedding cost a fortune - it wouldn’t have if it was just my preferences but DH family immigrated here with nothing other than a student visa and our wedding represented the culmination of everything they had worked for to his parents.  They’d come here, worked hard, built community, thrived professionally, and now their only child was getting married.  The wanted everyone there, wanted no expense spared on flowers and food to make an exceptional party etc.  Sure it might have been a little of their showing off but I think more a giant celebration for them that all their difficult choices and hardships had been worth it.

So it can represent so many different things to different people.  If they have the cash and want to do it a particular way, who cares.  To them it’s clearly how they want to spend their money vs a waste (unless they don’t have the money but that’s a broader issue….)[/quote]

This so resonates with me too. My parents are immigrants and happily paid for my wedding (around 100k). [/quote]
