Friend has just got engaged I am really happy for her she has wanted it for a long time and soon to be DH is a nice guy so all good......
However friend is insanely adamant the wedding will cost £5000 and no more. Now I know you can do one cheaper but she wants all the bells and whistles in a woodland setting with live bands, catering, Pinterest/crafty stuff and a bloody expensive dress.
This would be fine normally I would just passively agree but she is wanting my advice and just will not believe me when I gently suggest she may need to rein in her ideas or get a bigger budget!
AIBU by pissing on her parade even though she keeps wanting my advice? should I just leave her to it and distance myself? Or can she really have all that for that budget? (I'm not an expert on costs of weddings tbh)
Need advice please mumsnet! And if you are happy to share your weddings and costs that would help a lot!
