Anyone else having this problem? My Grandma is typically understanding, and willing to adjust. However, she just doesn''t understand the price of a wedding. Don''t get me wrong, I could spend less money, but at the same time I am not being unreasonable! Oh and by the way she isn''t paying for anything, so personally if my parents are okay with it and FI and I are contributing, I don''t see what problem is. I am not talking about a $50,000 wedding. I am talking about like $15-25,000. FI has a huge family so it is going to be hard to be on a really low budget. Okay so it''s more than I want to spend, but it''s not crazy! Like I said she''s been semi-supportive, but she dismisses a lot of the things I want by calling it "show and tell" and saying we don''t need to do that. I am not showing off for anyone, I don''t care what people think to be honest. It''s what I want and what FI wants and that''s what matters. She just doesn''t get it. Sigh. Don''t get me wrong, she is like this about all money things. She doesn''t spend money very often, so she is always like this when it comes to money for anything. She thinks everyone should do things the way she did. But maybe that''s not what I want. I am sorry to sound like a spoiled brat. My parents are totally behind me on this because they''ve obviously dealt with it for a while. If we''re not going to be in debt (e.g. we save and pay for it bit by bit, I don''t see the problem). She is also difficult when it comes to certain choices like she keeps insisting on a church. I was just wondering if anyone else was having this problem?
