My daughter is getting married in December of 2006. She announced the wedding 12/05 Her fiancees parents told my daughter they were going to pay for everything. When she asked them again in June they still confirmed that they were going to pay for everything.
Now my daughter asks about wedding invitations and reception information and the mother of the groom says that unfortunately they can not pay for anything because they have to remodel their kitchen for Thanksgiving. (The only reason they are remodeling their kitchen is because their older son’s in-laws are coming over for Thanksgiving Dinner and they are financially secure, a.k.a. "well-off)
So, I have not saved any money for the wedding, since I thought they would pay for it and a lot of holidays are around the corner.
So, should I, the bride’s mother (single parent, single income) pay for a wedding that is a couple of months away or should the groom "Man-up" and tell his parent’s to help pay?

I am a single mom of two children a son fifteen and a daughter twelve. We had homeade turkey soup and turkey dressing and whole grain noodles instead of potatoes. I only have one sis since my parents have passed away so it’s a very tiny Thanksgving for us but we are having a great day and we are all grateful for what we do have. I would love to hear how other peoples Thanksgivings are!!!!!
