My Parents Won T Help Me Pay For My Wedding

I asked for them to just give me the same amount of money they paid for my sister s wedding which was about 10 000.

My parents won t help me pay for my wedding.

Before you go off on a tangent and start to question why he won t ask his parents just ask. Find out the reason he doesn t want to get his parent s cash involved in the wedding. In a practical sense i m glad they won t be there but i m having a hard time dealing with the idea that i m going to be the girl whose parents don t come to her wedding. That s really nice that your parents were able to help with your sister s wedding.

It took me a while to meet a man i wanted to marry. My parents think i m too old for them to be paying for my wedding. I don t know anyone who plans on paying for their wedding entirely on their own and i would have been beyond stunned if my parents didn t help me pay for the bulk of my wedding since they have wanted to since i was an infant yes i understand this is a privilege if it is common in your circle too i can see this feeling like a big burn. I didn t and don t expect for his parents to chip in at all it would be nice but it s not expected i just wanted them to help out in small things that don t cost money because of the fact that they don t have that much.

Now i don t know what i m going to do. My parents and i have had little to no contact for the past two and a half years and there s a very good chance they won t be attending our wedding celebration. Luckily wedding traditions can be adapted or scrapped altogether to be sure your love isn t overshadowed by absent parents. I would like for my family to be involved in the planning they are really easy going and not the type who care what other people think they just want me to be happy which i m so thankful for.

Dean and i are both in our early 30s and after two years of dating are ready to get married and start a family. Because while parents may be obligated to pay to house you clothe you feed you and raise you as a kid as an adult they re not obligated to pay for anything let alone your wedding.
