Wow!
When I was engaged, I let my girls pick their dresses and they were NO WHERE near $300. I would NEVER ask someone to pay that much for 1 dress! Crazy!!! My wedding was cancelled and my girls would not let me reimburse them for their dresses. Luckily, the dresses were 2 piece and they were all able to wear the tops (which was the more expensive piece).
If I were to get married for real, I would only have 1 attendant and do a wedding I could afford, I would NEVER have a wedding if I couldn't pay for it myself. I think your friend is ridiculous to even ask or expect anyone to contribute to the expenses of the wedding!!!
