So we are getting married in August just after our DDs first bday. We didn't want anything big and were originally going to go off and do it just the three of us, without telling anyone. But, then my MIL found out and really wanted to be there. We went through a million options re where to have the wedding and decided on a country house, which sleeps 30 over 4 days. We consulted and checked with all family that they were happy to have for accoumadation (about 170 per person for 4 nights) before we booked. Everyone said it was a great idea.
Now, my SIL told my dad that she doesn't want to stay in the house, but wants to camp near by to save money. I am so angry about this. 1. Because we asked first. 2. Because my bro earns loads of money. 3. Because my in laws, plus about ten others, are flying over from oz and that is costing them over $5,000 in flights before they even get here with no complaints. But most of all I am annoyed because when they got married, they did it in a remote part of Italy, in term time, when loads of the family are teachers. Me and my DF had to loose two days pay, plus flights, plus they chose a really expensive hotel where you had to have all your food and drink because there was nowhere else near by and it cost everyone a fortune! It would not even occur to her though. I am pretty confident that when I speak to my bro it will be fine and he will do the right thing, but she really gets my wound up some times, she can be really selfish and hypocritical!!!
Sorry for the rant!!
