Very Random thoughts on Weddings
By Kiki

I had the same situation although we knew going in that there would be no financial help from my husband's family. Many groom's parents (and bride's families, for that matter) feel that the responsibility of the wedding
should belong to those getting married. You need to do what is right for you. You cannot control the way people view each other. Some suggestions: offer up the hotel, if they don't like it, let them choose somewhere else to stay. Give the every opportunity to pay for the rehearsal but if they don't then decide if you can and will do it yourself. Rent pop-in-law's tux for him - you

can say that it is a gift , or don't. I seriously doubt that he will not rent one of his own. Some people are happiest when they are grumbling. Remember, you are marrying the man, not his parents. However, you do want to foster a decent relationship if possible. Remember this day is about YOU. Try to let go of the tension. If your family starts to bad-mouth his, then tell them that you don't want to hear it. In every situation, people participate at the level with which they are comfortable. I am afraid I have started to ramble and make no sense. Hopefully, you are able to get something out of this.
