It's no secret that weddings are often expensive affairs. They have a way of burning through money, unlike any other party. The dress, the venue, the food, the entertainment… it can cost quite literally a small fortune. So, it follows that some families try to split the cost. Maybe the groom's side will pitch some in, the bride's side will cover some, and the couple will use their shared savings to fill in the rest. It's not an uncommon arrangement.
But you can easily run into issues when you begin relying on one person to cover the whole of the cost, especially when that person themselves hasn't fully committed to it. That's what happened in this family, where a young bride and her mother tried to squeeze their uncle/brother dry, leaving them all with a bad taste in their mouths. Read on for the story and decide what you would have done.
