Today, I found out that my fiancé's parents are refusing to pay for a honeymoon, because they "didn't have one, so neither will we", meaning they won't pay for a single thing for our wedding. FML

Why don't you save and pay for it yourselves? That IS an option, you kno.

Agreed with the previous postings. Honestly, if you're old enough to be getting married, then you should be able to afford to pay for the wedding and the honeymoon. If you can't afford it, then you need to figure something out. It's not the parents responsibility, it's yours. YDI for not planning ahead.

igloos are awesome, WTF are you talking about.

If you're getting married, you should be able to pay for your own wedding and honeymoon. Although traditionally the brides family paid for the wedding, these days it isn't a given.

I'm getting married this weekend - my family offered to help in any way they can and would not let us pay for our ceremony and reception. My fiance's family have not offered to help out in any way, except to help decorate the reception, "if they have time." We didn't expect anyone to pay, but it sure is a nice gesture to even offer. Weddings, Deaths, and new Babies - bring out the worst in everyone.

You are probobly some spoiled annoying prick who thinks they are entitled to everything. pay for your own honeymoon or don't go. I am married 34 years and no one gave me anything. ydi

It's YOUR wedding. Pay for it and quit your bitching.

It's YOUR wedding, you should pay for it! Neither set of parents should pay for your wedding. It's 2010 not 1950, grow up

I don't think it's the fact that the in-laws didn't want to pay for anything. It's the fact that they gave the reason as "we didn't get to enjoy a honeymoon, so you shouldn't enjoy one either". And that is beyond rude. If the couple had asked for help paying for the wedding, and the in-laws had said "sorry, we don't have the money and we feel it is your responsibility", that would have been one thing. But they said "we didn't get to have fun, so you don't get to have fun". That's just not something sane, reasonable, and mature adults should say to each other.

Are you serious? It's something called "grow the **** up, and pay for your own shit" You and your fiancée have a job so pay for the wedding yourself. Or go to City Hall, and quit bitching. This is not FML worthy. YTFDI (You Totally ******* Deserved It)

That sucks, but it's not an FML. As much as it seems like on TV for everyone to have a massive ceremony with their parents footing a portion of the bill, the majority of people have small, inexpensive weddings or just get married at a courthouse. The only part of me that wants to say "FYL" is the selfish part of me that hopes my parents and in-laws would pay for mine, but I know they can't or won't, so... :)
