Some people want to splurge on a wedding, but some don’t.

This man shares a story about his daughter getting married.

Her in-laws want a big, expensive princess wedding, but he doesn’t want to pay for it.

Should he let his daughter have the fancy wedding if the in-laws are the ones footing the bill?

Read the full details of the story below.

AITAH for not wanting to pay $100k for a Princess Wedding that the Grooms parents want?

My daughter, the youngest of three, is getting married.

Our first daughter got married in 2021.

She had a beautiful wedding at a rock bottom cost of $15k.

Only 75 people came.

This man’s first daughter was very happy with her wedding.

It was during COVID, so every vendor had low pricing, just because of the times.

My first daughter was thrilled and very happy!

His youngest, however, is being pushed to have a big wedding.

Now, the youngest is being talked into this princess wedding.

It’s actually being pushed on her because the in-laws want a big splash.

They want a very formal, over-the-top event.

He doesn’t want to pay for an expensive event.

We originally explained to the girls that we would give each one the same amount.

Now, with inflation, that number has probably gone to $25k.

AITA for not wanting to pay for something I really don’t want to do?

I would rather give the newlyweds some extra money to help with a house down payment.

His daughter’s future in-laws want a big wedding.

The groom’s parents want the big formal expense.

What do I do?

My daughter says they will pay for it, so let them.

I’m not getting a good feeling about all this.

The big question is, what does the daughter want? It’s her wedding.

Let’s see what others have to say about this on Reddit.

If they want it, they can pay for it.
