DP is about to inherit around 15,000 from his late Grandfather. We have been together around 8 years and have 2 DCs. We have wanted to get married for a while but have felt reluctant to get into debt for the sake of a wedding.
I naively thought that his inheritance would be used for the wedding, only to discover that DP has other plans for it and has said very bluntly that he does not want to spend any of the money on a wedding. He has said that he wants It to go towards something more exciting such as a small, shared holiday home or would much rather use it to pay off some of the mortgage.
I've asked him how we are ever going to afford a wedding and now he's talking about credit cards? I don't understand it.
I feel a bit gutted, but it is his inheritance at the end of the day, I don't get a say in what it gets spent on... do I?
