Parents furious when daughter elopes after they gave her $50,000 for wedding: 'We used the check for a down payment on a house'

With the high prices in the wedding industry coupled with today's inflation, a lot of couples are moving towards the route of having nontraditional weddings to save on costs. This bride was generously gifted $50,000 by her parents to throw a big wedding with her fiance. For $50,000, that's a pretty big wedding you can plan. Well, the couple decided to elope instead and use the money for a downpayment on a house. Which many commenters say is a really smart decision, as a home is an investment that will last rather than throwing the money away all in one day. Well, her parents don't seem to see it that way. And there is one more important piece to the story here: each of her siblings, who both happen to be male, was gifted $50,000 for a downpayment on a house. Being the only daughter, the bride was told she couldn't have money for a downpayment because it was her husband's job to provide. Who's right in this situation?
