Reply To: Wedding Costs….In Law Chutzpah

@AviK
I posted to inquire about changing custom that I may not be aware of.

None of this has to do with the parents of the Chassan’s means. I know what size checks my son and DIL get as attorneys in my firm.
It has to do with the grandfather of the Kallah inserting himself, unasked, into the planning/financial process and trying to get other grandparents to foot the bill with him. The mother of the Kallah was embarrassed when her father git such a call from her father-in-law.

I am aware of changing customs in that today it is not unusual for the Chassan’s family to pay part of the expenses. In my day the parents of the Kallah paid for it all. Mrs. CTL and I made weddings for our three daughters and paid for them. It was our pleasure
