When my bff got married, they did it the filipino way (her husband is) and get sponsors. The family members who sponsor get their name on the invite and they get to walk down the aisle, and get a formal introduction at the ceremony and feel all super important. That is their gift, no other gift is needed, unless they want to give it. But the couple should NOT ask their friends! It's especially hard to believe that she would ask anyone, esp seeing as this is her second time around. I do understand though, from seeing this happen to another friend (and she told me about her friend) the couple had a lot of non refundable deposits on the venue, the flowers, etc, and of course stuff had already been paid for like dresses. But really, they need to scale back big time if they can't afford it. |
Just curious: How old is she and is she like this in other parts of her life? When my dtr got married (now divorced) she was 18 and while both were working it was at Target so they did not have much money. We bought her dress but everything else they pd for. Bouquets were bought and made by A C Moore. (great prices), decorations at party city, bridesmaid dresses were made and could be worn again, different styles but same colors for each. Cake was a little expensive but it was the groom's mom's choice (tasted terrible was the general consensus). I heard walmart makes a great cake. It was a simple wedding but just as legal as a fancy one. While it did not last long, it was nice. I remember my wedding in 1982 :rolleyes: I spent $ 200 on it and it was a church wedding. One aunt with only sons, made my dress, another with only a son supplied the napkins,cups and plates. A friend made the cake. Not fancy, but we are still going strong. |
