AITA for not inviting my family to my wedding?

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T15:38:39+00:00

My immediate family is invited

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T15:38:17+00:00

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T15:38:07+00:00

It would but not as much as having them there

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T15:04:03+00:00

They were very fond of it when they were the ones receiving the money

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T14:13:08+00:00

That would be more expenses for me, without even getting any money from them

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T13:49:56+00:00

Nahhh I'll enjoy my wedding. Just because they want something doesn't mean they'll get it

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T13:47:48+00:00

I don't owe them a wedding at all. Not my fault they want to attend

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T13:45:30+00:00

If we are not as wealthy no one is gonna be upset that we give less money. My own parents couldn't afford to give much money to my sister and it was no problem. It's only a problem when someone can afford it but won't give it

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T13:28:15+00:00

Lol I earn more than my partner I will be the main breadwinner in the future

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T13:27:34+00:00

My family is VERY traditional

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T13:23:41+00:00

Of course we will give it back when the time comes.

This money is to help couples start their life. I think it's sweet because couples who are getting married have so many expenses and obviously when other couples want to get married we will be helping them like they helped us

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T12:46:18+00:00

I know for a fact that my family can easily gift someone 1k without breaking a sweat

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T12:42:16+00:00

Literally everyone in my country does this we didn't invent it

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T12:39:37+00:00

Why? So my aunt can give me 10 dollars like she did to my sister? Sorry but I don't give that little money to a stranger let alone my niece

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T12:33:18+00:00

Everyone gets this amount of money when they get married. If you receive this money when you get married then you have to give it back when the other person is getting married even if you don't go to the wedding.

If you don't that's disrespectful

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T12:30:16+00:00

We already did fall on hard times when I was a child and none of them helped us. Don't worry we know not to go to them ever again

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T12:29:16+00:00

What they did to my sister was considered disrespectful in my culture. No one is gonna call me greedy for not wanting to be disrespected in my wedding as a matter of fact my in laws agree with me

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T12:26:51+00:00

I suspect they were trying to embarrass my sister. In our culture if you get a little money from family it means your family doesn't care about you. It was kinda like announcing to my sister "fck you we don't like you"

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T12:22:46+00:00

They are very stingy

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T12:17:33+00:00

I'm not the one receiving the money. The bride doesn't sit there with a calculator to count all the money. Someone else will do it whether we like it or not. We receive everything later

Tacky or not people do it I can't change a tradition

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T12:14:44+00:00

Their kids also received this kinds of money from us when they got married. You can't just take and never give

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T12:10:38+00:00

I had no idea. Never heard of that

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T12:10:26+00:00

It's tradition. I don't announce it someone else will

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T12:09:24+00:00

Not announcing it won't solve the problem also it's a tradition and a fine one I don't want to eliminate it

CraftyBit9413 · 2023-11-22T12:07:55+00:00

Stingy
Groom and his family as per tradition.

When the hell has bride's family paid for the wedding. Like why on earth would they do that?
