Stop bitching, not everyone can be that fortunate

You sound like a selfish little shit. I paid for my own wedding and honeymoon and was happy to do it. It's not a bad thing to expect nothing....when you get help, you are especially thankful....if you get none, you have nothing to be disappointed about....

Maybe the parents felt that not having a honeymoon was one of the reasons that made their marriage so successful? Maybe they question the reason you're getting married? You should ask yourself why you're doing this...in order to be legally wed to the person you love, which can be done for an extremely low amount of money, or if you're doing it to fulfil some fantasy where you're the center of attention, and everyone else pays to celebrate and reward you. If it's the first, consider what you can afford to do. let go of your expectations of your parents, your guests, everyone except your future spouse. (your guests don't OWE you presents anymore than your parents OWE you a wedding. In theory, YOU are hosting an event - YOU are the only ones obligated - and asking for presents, cash, etc is tacky, even if "everyone else does it") If it's the second, try to learn to separate "marriage" and "wedding." The two are totally different things.

If you guys loved eachother enough, you would know that having a glamorous wedding is not what it is all about. You can make it cheaper for you guys. You can get married in a courtroom or a church. It shouldn't be about the perfect dress, and the perfect honeymoon. I remember when it was about being in love, for rich or poor. Don't worry about money, just do it cheap and don't be stupid.

FYL indeed, if your fiance's parents are too retarded to raise their kid to be able to pay for their own ******* wedding they should have to pay for it. Stop being a knob and pay for you own wedding or whine and bitch to everyone so everyone can see how much of a spoilt brat you've been raised as.

As far as traditions go... typically the bride's family will pay for the wedding, the groom's for the reception, and the couple for the honeymoon. Also as far as traditions go, none of it is necessary for a couple to be married. My fiance and I are planning for a relatively inexpensive wedding, and ignoring what everyone else wants. Our budget will probably be in the $1,000 range, which will mean not spending money on things that aren't necessary for everyone to have a good time. Since we don't plan on getting drunk at our wedding, neither will anyone else, and since we don't want to spend hundreds on clothes, invitations, decorations and the sort that we'll use just once, we won't. If you want an expensive honeymoon, budget more for that and less for the wedding itself. If you won't budge on the wedding, stop complaining.

getting married means you are a grown up now. gorwn ups pay for their own damn things!!!!

tough

so what? this is your greatest concern? what a greedy selfish little bitch you are. save your cash and pay for your own!

boo. *******. hoo.
