[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Completely absurd that no one seems to be speaking up. OP, it’s unfortunate and telling that your husband is willing to [b]sacrifice his own nuclear family’s financial security[/b] for this boondoggle. [/quote]

Citation needed.  OP said they can afford it she'd just rather spend the money elsewhere.[/quote]

OP here. We make the most of all the siblings… but it’s a stretch for us too. These funds would go on our credit cards. We’d be able to pay it in a few months but don’t have the cash now. It’s frustrating to me that DH thinks it’s a no-brainer that we hand over thousands of dollars for everyone to go on an international trip that they can’t afford. I feel like he should talk to his sister about it but he doesn’t want to put a strain on their wedding.[/quote]

If you can put it on credit cards, so can they.  I'd cover the parents, tell the other siblings you're getting the parents there and that's all you can afford to contribute, and expect other siblings to figure it out.[/quote]
