[QUOTE="DDD, post: 556038, member: 35"] Awwwww....sending hugs. We experienced "issues" even though the three girls and one boy were all easy child's. My number one easy child wanted a small church wedding followed by a sit down lunch reception with live music. It suited her to a tee and although we did alot of cost containment it was lovely (and not cheap, lol). She wanted husband to walk her down the aisle and got up the nerve to discuss it with her bioDad. She came home in tears (highly unusual) as Biodad said "I GAVE you life and I WILL walk you down the aisle OR you will never see me again. Charming man. He and his third wife attended, he did walk her down the aisle and did not contribute a cent. Sigh. My easy child son's wedding was all centered at his wife's church. We gave the rehersal dinner at a lovely placed and survivied the wedding where our side of the family was treated no differently than guests. Sigh. The other two easy child girls planned their weddings with their Biomom and OMG BIG bucks went into beautiful weddings. We literally could not afford half of the costs (not even one quarter of the costs) but we contributed as best we could. husband walked both his daughters down the aisle because they literally hated stepdad with cause. Often when I read about difficult child convesations I think we WM's should have recording machines going when any topic of import is discussed. It sounds like she is "way out there", sad to say. I might be tempted to just say "we love you and we want you to have what you want for your wedding. Would you just like a financial commitment from us so you can plan your own big day?" Not what any Mom wants but it may be the way to save your sanity. I'm sorry. DDD [/QUOTE]
