“I don’t want to say how much they’ve given us, but it’s more than most households make in a year. It still feels a little surreal marrying into a family like this, but I will say they’ve been nothing but kind to me, and I’ve never felt judged by them.”
The guest list for her wedding includes approximately 250 people, and she suspects no more than 200 will actually be able to make it.
Ash was aware of the sheer number of guests on her invite list, but one thing Ash wasn’t really clued in about is how lavish her wedding is going to be.
Last weekend, she and Ash spent time together, and as they began discussing their weddings, Ash couldn’t help but notice how extravagant hers is.
“The food served will be over $150/plate, it’s one of the most expensive venues in the area, and the musical performer is relatively well known (family friend of Julie’s),” she said.
“Ash asked me if I could “tone it down” so it’s not so much bigger and better than hers and so people don’t compare or skip hers for mine. I told her that her wedding will be amazing and not to compare, but I won’t be telling Julie not to have her wedding how she wants it. Personally, I’d elope or have a giant wedding, it makes no difference to me, but Julie wants an extravagant affair, and if her parents don’t mind paying, I’m fine with it too.”
Ash thinks she’s being a complete jerk for not wanting to elope, and Ash feels like she’s going to outshine her. Honestly, her mom is on Ash’s side, so she’s wondering if they’re right. What do you think?
