‘This is an absurd expectation’: Financially stable man refuses to give brother $5k toward his honeymoon and stands firm amidst guilt-tripping and familial pressure

Weddings are expensive, there's no doubt about that. Couples in love shell out thousands upon thousands of dollars to celebrate their love the way they'd like to, and more power to them. An extravagant wedding is obviously going to be more expensive than Elvis officiating your union in a Las Vegas chapel, but if a big wedding with an even bigger bill is in your budget, no skin off of my (or your) back. Honeymoons are even more expensive. Couples need to divvy out how much money they want to put toward their catering/florals/media for the wedding reception and what they want to set aside for their honeymoon, if applicable. Couples, however, cannot rely on family cash contributions if it's not promised to them. If they expect a large sum of money simply for tying the knot, they're in for a real surprise. Cash gifts are a "nice-to-have," not a requirement.

The guy in this story refuses to give his brother $5k toward his honeymoon and continues to refuse despite his brother's attempt at guilt-tripping. His fiancée is in on the guilt-tripping, too, as well as the guy's family. Even though the man is financially stable, he doesn't see how the expectation of a $5k cash contribution is completely absurd to his brother, his brother's fiancée, and his family. They get more entitled as the story progresses. Scroll below to get the story in detail.
