Reply To: Wedding Costs….In Law Chutzpah

We don’t meddle in our adult children’s business and would not presume to get involved unasked in the finances or planning of a wedding.

If our son or DIL even hinted they could use some assistance in meeting their wedding obligations we’d hand over a signed check and smile.

as for what else I need the money for?
In the next couple of years I shall enter retirement from the full time practice of law and I”YH will have many decades more to live and the expenses to go with that life.

Mrs. CTL and I would much rather give the Chassan/Kallah a down payment for a house than pay for a party that lasts a few hours. Maybe we’re old fashioned?
