[QUOTE="Lil, post: 741720, member: 17309"] Well, son's fiancée doesn't want a bit wedding...but she may get one anyway. Her mom apparently wants to invite everyone under the sun. Fiancée - I'm going to start calling her "C" because it's too hard to keep typing fiancée - would be very happy getting married at a courthouse and having a party afterwards. Mom wants to take her wedding dress shopping. I asked if she had a quinceañera (for those who don't know it's a Latin American thing - a big party for a girl's 15th birthday as opposed to a sweet 16 - kind of a coming of age thing) and she said yes...that her parent's had probably dropped $10k on that party! So yeah...they go big for special occasions. She's not the oldest daughter, but is the first daughter to marry...so... I told her to keep reminding her mom that our son will have about 4 people on his side of the family come and he will feel bad if they have 300. Anyway. Up to her parents to pay for that. Not us. I'll happily chip in a bit if necessary. It's traditional (American tradition at least) for the groom's family to pay for the rehearsal dinner. I don't know what the Mexican tradition there is. But hopefully they'll let us know. [/QUOTE]
