[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 438906, member: 135"] I do know how weddings can take on a life of their own. ( My son just got married last October.) However, nobody can take advantage of you unless you let them. Agree to pay for what you can afford. Beyond that, if the mother of the bride isn't satisfied, she can pay for it herself. If she doesn't like what you want to wear, tough. I'm sure you will look nice and, truly, all eyes will be on the bride anyway. She is the mother of the bride; not the dictator of the planet. Some people are better ignored. No children at the wedding? Lots of people do that so...arrange for a babysitter. Provide some fun food and make it a party of their own for them. It sounds like your son needs to grow a pair but perhaps he is feeling overwhelmed also. Bottom line: do what you can do but do not get pushed into a bunch of stuff you can't handle. This is supposed to be a fun day. It does not have to be like the royal wedding we just watched on TV: they had hundreds of servants and helpers to help with that. Sit back and let them go crazy. Take a deep breath and enjoy your son and his new wife. Blow off the rest of it. [/QUOTE]
