My Parents Won T Help Me Pay 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.

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. My parents think i m too old for them to be paying 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. Dealing with parents who can but won t attend the wedding of their child is not only a difficult emotional trial for the couple but can present challenges for the wedding vendors and guests.

My parents refuse to pay for a wedding for me and i don t think it s fair. Well from the beginning my parents said they will help with the wedding my dad said he d pay for 2 000 00 of it. Find out the reason he doesn t want to get his parent s cash involved in the wedding. 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. 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. 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. Luckily wedding traditions can be adapted or scrapped altogether to be sure your love isn t overshadowed by absent parents.
