[QUOTE="donna723, post: 68285, member: 1883"] Eeeeewwww! This all sounds extremely strange! For one thing, it doesn't even sound like it was their idea to get married in the first place! It sounds like boyfriend's family is calling all the shots and THEY'VE decided. His family picked a date, and grandma's already working on the wedding dress??? It sounds like this family may end up taking advantage of her. She's paying HALF the rent and she's expected to share what she gets through WIC? I don't know what to tell you about helping with the wedding expenses. If it were me, I would be very suspicious of some of what's going on. If you want to help, maybe you could pay directly for different things for the wedding instead of just giving her (or them!) cash. One thing for sure that she DOESN'T need ... a pregnant teenager living with her boyfriend's family and who will soon have a baby to support and care for does NOT need $500 worth of hair extensions! Nobody NEEDS hair extensions! They may WANT them, but they don't NEED them! Huge difference. [/QUOTE]
