[quote][b] So to answer your question ... do I think you're being nuts? Yup I do. I think it's completely unreasonable and almost selfish you're expecting others to pick up your wedding tab. Iggy, Methinks you miss the point. My take on it is that the OP is just seeking the same deal that her FH's siblings got, nothing more. She gets the feeling that her FH's parents have looked at the financial support that her parents have given and decided that their support isn't necessary. Sorry, but that's not their decision to make. Their son is getting married, just as their daughter and other son did previously. If they gave their other two children , say $2000.00 each as a wedding gift, then this son is equally entitled regardless of how much support his future wife is getting from her parents. She isn't looking for his parents to pay the tab here. All she wants is an equitable deal. I think that her FH is entitled to the same amount of money that his parents gave to his brother and sister. What's unreasonable about that? EL
Some people are like Slinkies... Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
