Wedding stuff

@HootyTheNightOwl my sister also decided to also have a pot of money for the wedding of which the groom's father paid 1,000, my dad payed 8,000 and my mum payed 11,000. and used the money for hair and makeup and some other bit's and pieces, but not for the actual wedding does that seem right?

@maturedragon As long as she actually gets married, I believe that she can spend that money however she sees fit... its like when you receive money for your birthday, its not given to you with a specific thing in mind.

I know that it sucks to think of it like that, but just imagine what would happen if the pot raised more money than the wedding costs... how would you go about trying to work out who to refund and whose money paid for what.

@HootyTheNightOwl thanks! I guess that's true, my mum was sort of upset that she spent it in the way she did and was hoping differently but as people would say c'est la vie

@maturedragon If your mum wanted the money spent in a specific way, then she should have outlined what she was going to pay for specifically instead of paying into a pot.

It's harder to argue about where the money went to if you bought the flowers and paid the photographer or whatever you decided to do with the money.

@HootyTheNightOwl I think it was outlined a while back, but then plans changed I think, I'm sort of out of the loop anyway and my mum was having a rant cause she drank too much tonight. and I'm trying my best to relay what I heard and ask for opinions on the matter. probably none of my business anyway and keep my nose out of it
