That said, how would I approach his parents on if they intend to contribute financially? It was very easy for me to initiate that conversation with my own mom because A) we're very close and B) my sister got married 3 years ago and my mom talked with me a lot then about what they paid for her and had said even then it would be the same for me. But my fiance is the first child in his family to be getting married, so we have no baseline for comparison.
Now I know that they are absolutely NOT obligated to chip in at all. And if that's what they say, then I accept that and understand fully. However the guest list his mom sent me has more of her friends invited than I'm even inviting of my own friends. So I feel like the topic of costs needs to be addressed at some point in that regard.
Any input or general thoughts? Similar experience? I dont even know where to start with this.
