The whole thing turns into a reality show when you push back, sudden silence, then cries of betrayal, missed calls, relatives inventing new reasons why your wedding is an existential crisis for the family. They want a fairytale, you want to keep your savings and actually enjoy the party.

At the end of the day, it’s your call, your budget, and your happiness on the line. Nobody owes their second cousin’s vision board an apology, and if grandma wants a big church wedding, she can write the checks or enjoy the show from her favorite chair. The snacks will be better and you get your honeymoon, all without burning through a house deposit for the sake of family optics.

‘If you want such a big and expensive wedding, YOU should pay for it then!’: Family criticizes bride’s DIY Halloween wedding plans, but she stands her ground and tells them they should pay for it themselves
Wedding planning is basically a spectator sport for families who think tradition means going broke just to keep grandma from sending more links to venues and dresses fit for a royal summit. You line up a mellow Halloween party with thrifted decor and cheap potluck catering, only for the older relatives to blow up your phone with expensive suggestions and high drama because apparently, anything less than a five-figure white wedding means you skipped the "real bride" memo.
The best part is nobody's offering to pay, just to weigh in. It's like every text is a passive-aggressive bid to control your big day without chipping in a single dollar, and suddenly saying "if you want it, you pay for it" is bigger news than the actual wedding.
