I’ll make no excuses I am not a believer in the huge, fancy and expensive weddings. (I know some of you did it and have wonderful memories -that’s great) I decided, and the Mrs totally bought in, that we would pick a sum and give it to the daughter and tell her. This is yours to use as you wish -wedding, down payment or whatever. That’s exactly what we did.
Future SIL while driving to DD birthday dinner “friend at work said he tried unsuccessfully to convince his fiancée to kill the $80K wedding and use the money as a down payment like you guys are” Meaning DD and him.
$80,000 on a wedding? They are not rich. It’s not my money but OMG.. there’s something about spending huge amounts of money on a 5 hour event. I guess its all that exposure to people smothered with credit card debt.
