sorry a wedding abroad one!

[ObnoxiousDoggy]

Hi have name changed for this.
My DP is due to be best man at his friends wedding abroad soon. The whole wedding has been disorganised but he's gritted his teeth and bared it
When asked to be best man his mate said he would pay for flights and accommodation. I was going to go but had discovered I'm pregnant so won't be going. The other day the groom came round and is stressing about money and says he can now only contribute to the trip for DP and won't know how much until a month before the wedding!
So we worked out if DP paid for own trip and spends and gift it'll be about 1000 quid. This is on top of 500 quid for the stag and then money for the wedding party back home. This is all in a matter of weeks before were due to become parents.
AiBu to think this groom is expecting a bit much? dp doesn't mind contributing but if at the last min the groom can't contribute at all it's going to cost a hell of a lot

What is he going to do, OP?

[ObnoxiousDoggy]

Thanks everyone. He's going to set an amount he's willing to contribute then if his mate can't match with the rest he'll pull out

[rollonthesummer]

Has he actually told the groom that's how much he needs and that he will pull out if the groom doesn't pay or is that just what he's decided to do in his head?

He's going to see the groom this weekend. He'll tell him if he's struggling he'll pay the hotel but wants flights (most expensive part) paid for.
