[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So OP - are you convinced?  Or are you like my MIL who insists that she's right on everything even if everyone around her disagrees?[/quote]

DH and I are still hurt. If everyone is saying though, that this is proper then it must be so. For us, to give $1500 is a lot. Also please keep in mind that we are spending a lot more than that on passports, outfits, our other child, flights, hotels, etc. This is not simply pulling out the dress I wear to each local wedding and spending one weekend day attending festivities.

This is what you wrote in your original post:

[b]They originally wanted to elope, but I told my son that I would be very upset to not get to be present at my child's wedding.[/b]

You wanted this, and now you're complaining that it's going to cost an arm and a leg to attend the wedding. They changed their plans for you, and now that's still not okay.  Stop changing the goal posts. [/quote]

You insisted that they have a wedding without intending to pay anything?  In other words, "This is important to me, so please spend thousands of dollars to placate me and your father?"  Lady, you're lucky you're invited at all.  The proper response would be a heartfelt expression of gratitude to your future in-laws, and the happy couple, for undertaking such a significant expense (in part) to please you.  Instead, you are "offended" and "hurt"?  Jesus.  [/quote]
