His Fiancée Called Him Cheap For Giving Her Brother A $2,000 Wedding Present Instead Of A $20,000 Rolex Like He Gifted His Own Brother
This 32-year-old man and his fiancée, who’s 26, have been together for a few years now, and they are planning to tie the knot in June 2025.
He’s quite well-off in terms of finances, as he runs a successful business in New York City. So, he recently purchased a home for him and his fiancée to move into following their nuptials.
His little brother, who’s 30, also happened to get married back in April.
“We’ve been best friends for as long as I can remember,” he said.
That’s why, as a wedding present, he decided to give his brother a Rolex. He knew his brother had been eyeing one specific watch for a long time, and the surprise went perfectly.
His brother didn’t anticipate receiving such a lavish gift and was ecstatic – which made him extremely happy.
However, the fancy present seemingly created some high expectations in his fiancée’s mind, and now, the watch is causing a lot of drama in their relationship.
For some context, his soon-to-be brother-in-law – his fiancée’s brother – just tied the knot about two weeks ago.
“And leading up to his wedding, she kept making comments about how much her brother loves Rolexes. She’d mention it here and there, but I didn’t really pay much attention,” he recalled.

Then, when her brother’s wedding rolled around, he provided the happy couple with a $2,000 prepaid credit card. That way, his fiancée’s brother could use the funds on his honeymoon. He genuinely thought the gesture was very generous, and it seemed like his fiancée’s brother appreciated it. His fiancée, on the other hand, began acting weird.
Yesterday, he finally found out why, too. She actually approached him, stated she was disappointed in him, and claimed to believe that he was going to buy her brother a Rolex, just like he did for his own brother.
“She even hinted to her brother and some of her friends that I was going to buy him a ‘fancy’ gift, like a Rolex,” he revealed.
“Now, she’s saying that I was cheap because I ‘only’ gave her brother a $2,000 gift, and how it doesn’t compare to the $20,000 I spent on my brother’s watch.”
He’s honestly shocked by her reaction, and he has no clue why she ever thought he’d buy her brother such a pricey present. Yes, he does love his future brother-in-law, but he considers his own brother to be his best friend – and there is a big difference.
“I feel like she’s completely overlooking the fact that I gave her brother a gift that most people would consider very generous,” he admitted.
This entitlement has even pushed him to have second thoughts about their relationship.
“I never imagined she’d put this kind of pressure on me or act like I owe her family the same kind of money I spend on my own,” he vented.
He’s considering confronting his fiancée about this as well. Still, before he makes any final decisions, he’s been left wondering if being upset over this whole situation is really so unreasonable.
Do you agree that $2,000 is already a very nice wedding gift? Was his fiancée out of line?
