My niece recently got married. My brother and his wife are divorced and remarried so she asked them to contribute $10,000 each and the groom's parents contributed $10,000. Apparantly they cost cut on everything so they would have enough for a 6 week honeymoon.  My brother and his ex are ropeable as they were happy to contribute to the wedding but not the lavish honeymoon.

They are staying in 5 star hotels and restaurants, have been shopping in designer stores and generally living the high life. Both of them, nephew and new wife, earn good money but felt their parents should pay for everything. They go overseas just about every year anyway so it's not like it was a once in a lifetime thing.

My brother only got told about the extent of the honeymoon on the day of the wedding so he's had time to seeth. My niece is lovely and has been spoit most of her life but this time she's pushed my brother just that teensy bit too far and I suspect daddy's little girl will be told a few home truths . Oh to be a fly on the wall. lol.
