It was a manipulative scheme by Katie, and she knows it. I wonder if her in-laws know that she is lying to her parents in order to get money to ensure their attendance?

This is the right way to do a destination wedding. Either pay and make it comfortable for your guests, or at least accept and expect that it will be much smaller than any local wedding.

28-year-old bride demands $17,000 from parents to cover wedding venue costs, sister reveals the money is actually for groom's family: "If you genuinely thought it was the fairest way, why did you lie?"
People do not often pick destination weddings for their convienience or low cost. Not only do you have to pay the usual venue, catering, decorations, DJ, and vendor fees, you also have to budget for travel costs. However, it can all be worth it if it makes your dream wedding come true. Also, if a bride and groom are from different countries, a destination wedding that doesn't favor either side of the family might actually be the most prudent choice. A destiation wedding sometimes isn't even that much more expensive than a local one as you can expect fewer guests.
In our story today, a bride's wedding costs are sky-high. This comes as no surprise to her family as the event will be hosted in the opulent Dubai, so when she asks her parents for a loan to help cover the venue, they don't bat an eye. However, her sister finds out that the 17k is actually meant to pay for the groom's airplaine tickets. This begs the question: why do her parents have to pay for her in-laws' trip? Scroll down for the details.
