[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, this is really tough.

Your sister REPEATEDLY told her they would help her, and told her they would even take out loans to do it. I think blasting your niece is unfair - her MOTHER repeatedly said they would help. Is this a pattern with your sister? I mean really,if you can't count on your mom to keep her word, who can you count on?

That said, I think your sister needs to come up with an amount they can pay, that includes whatever deposits the couple has paid that they can't get back.  Your poor niece. I think this is beyond issues with the wedding - I think your niece is about to see the real, adult version of her parents. It is hard when you really start to see your parents shortcomings.[/quote]

I agree. Most people tend to view brides as selfish and psycho. In this case though she was promised something—from a parent! A parent she had no reason to distrust (like it’s not her estranged father saying he would pay, who would never even show up for his custody time, ya know). I think your sister should pay something, though maybe not as much as initially expected. It’s just the right thing to do when you’ve made a promise. Also, it seems like she doesn’t want to pay because she made the promise before thinking about it—but she had all the information available to her when she did. She didn’t like, lose a job. Or get cancer and rack up medical bills she’s struggling to pay. An emergency situation would be different. [/quote]
