Jane Green is the author of novels that are bestsellers not only in America but around the world. Also known as Jane Green Wartburg (her married name), the writer was born in Great Britain, but she is of American origin. For several years, he has also been publishing columns in the British daily “Daily Mail” and responding to readers’ letters.
They turn to her with various problems. Most often, they concern interpersonal relationships, partnerships, marriage, children, work situation, etc. The woman confessed that she had a huge grudge against her parents who did not want to cover the costs of her wedding. The reader’s message outraged many people.
Her parents can’t pay for her wedding. She told them they could not come
The Internet user wrote that she is currently preparing for the wedding. She dreams of a fairy-tale wedding. When her boyfriend proposed over the holidays, they immediately started making plans for their special day.
I was always a girl who dreamed of getting married. About what dress I will wear, what flowers I will carry and the song to which I will dance our first dance with my new husband. I want a big ceremony and reception. I want the day when I will be the center of attention
– we read in the letter sent. She emphasized that she often shared her plans with her parents, who assured her that they were saving money for the wedding. So when she announced the good news to them, she was surprised by the initial lack of assurance that the costs would be covered. However, she did not raise this issue immediately, “postponing the conversation for another day.”
“My parents insist that I pay for my own wedding.”
However, later she found out that her parents wanted the couple to cover all the costs of the wedding themselves. “My parents insist that I pay for my own wedding. I’m so angry with them that I told them not to come to the ceremony,” wrote the future bride.
It turned out that the woman’s parents simply had financial problems. “They said that they haven’t had any luck with money lately. And since both my husband and I work in well-paid positions, they feel that the responsibility for the big wedding rests with us,” we read in the letter. They also suggested that she make the same request to her future in-laws.
“I was stunned. Suddenly the wedding I had dreamed about my whole life just disappeared!” – wrote an Internet user. “I reminded them that my fiancé and I had just bought a new house, we were planning to have children and we simply didn’t have the money to afford it all ourselves. But nothing convinced them,” she added.
Despite this, the bride’s parents assured her of their readiness to help. They promised their daughter that they would help them with the entire organization – apart from giving the cash.
Their lack of compassion really annoyed me and I eventually told them that if they didn’t want to be involved in the wedding for financial reasons, they just shouldn’t come.
– wrote the woman. She also added that since that conversation she had practically broken off contact with them. She complained to the writer that her actions were immediately sharply criticized by her friends and the rest of her family. “My friends and sister tell me I will regret it,” says a Daily Mail reader. The Internet user began to have doubts. “Will I regret not having my dad walk me down the aisle?” – she asked.
She didn’t invite her parents to the wedding because they didn’t want to pay for it. “It shows your values”
The expert’s answer also leaves no doubt. Jane Green sharply pointed out the future bride’s mistakes. She replied that the Internet user was doing herself “harm” by cutting off contact with her parents for such a trivial reason. She added that doing so seemed “spoiled” and made her seem very self-absorbed.
You are old enough to get married, old enough to secure a well-paid job. So I hope you’re old enough to hear that not inviting your parents to your wedding because of money is something you’ll deeply regret for years to come. Not just because your father won’t be able to walk you down the aisle. But also because it speaks volumes about you and your values
– we read.
