(vent) - Has anyone else been hearing from guests about how much your wedding is costing them? We are having a destination wedding with the closest people to us. Besides immediate family we only have about 5 couples - three of which travel with us yearly (usually overseas) for vacation. Now are are getting married (in Key West, we live in NY) and all I keep hearing is that my wedding is costing so much and they are not able to do things because of it. This weekend I kinda lost my cool and told a friend, in a way I am not proud, that we are not obligating anyone to come, specially if they cannot afford it. The conversation continues and she begins to tell me how my other girlfriends are concerned too because my shower and bach is costing too much! NO ONE is expected to attend any of that! I am not planning any of the other events by my FMIL & FSIL offered (insisted) to host them so I said okay - I know for a fact that the two of them would never exploit the financial situation of my guests (I've been in the family for over 6 years and we are VERY close) so I know this is absolute exaggeration. I am so mad/sad/upset I asked FSIL to cancel bach. I hate to be put in this situation and be made guilty of abusing the generosity of others, I am so tired of it these next 46 days cannot go fast enough!
