A Reddit post reveals a bride-to-be's dilemma as she clashes with her fiancé over their wedding budget. While she proposes a more conservative approach, prioritizing saving for the future, her fiancé desires a lavish celebration, leading to heated disagreements.
A bride-to-be is facing unexpected conflict with her fiancé over their wedding budget . The 28-year-old woman, who goes by the username Strong-Presence-8273 on Reddit, shared her dilemma on the r/AmItheA****** forum. She explained that her father had given each of his daughters $120,000 for their weddings.
While her sisters spent the money on their ceremonies, she proposed a more conservative plan: $70,000 for the wedding, $10,000 for the honeymoon, and saving the remaining $40,000 for their future children's expenses. Her father agreed, provided she could stick to the revised budget. However, this decision didn't sit well with her 36-year-old fiancé. The bride-to-be wrote that her fiancé said she was rude for not wanting to use all the money for a wedding he would love, claiming that going over budget was fine because this was their most important day. He has always dreamed of a grand wedding with lots of guests. He criticized the venue she liked, an old library that only seats 180 and fits their budget, saying she was being rude by limiting her guest list to 60 people so he could invite 120 of his family. He also accused her of being 'greedy' for wanting to save the leftover money and said she looked like she was hoarding it. He argued that since they are financially well-off, she shouldn't worry about saving for future children. He also mentioned that their wedding planner had supposedly said she was being greedy, though he later admitted to making that up to show her how rude she was being. The bride-to-be admitted that she thought she was being fiscally responsible by saving the extra money, but now she's questioning if she's made the right decision.The Reddit community, however, overwhelmingly supported the bride-to-be's stance. One user urged, 'DO NOT MARRY THIS MAN until AFTER the two of you have gone through some serious pre-nuptial counseling.' They added, 'The number one reason that people divorce is over money issues. And you two are not even on the same continent, let alone the same page. This is important OP. Do it. You, and your future children, deserve it.' Another user echoed similar concerns, noting, 'I know this is what every Reddit person says on wedding posts but, you're sure you want to marry this man?' They continued, 'Maybe it's just the stress of the wedding getting to him and usually he's super nice but this does not sound like behavior I would want from a fiancé as we're about to go into our life bound together.'
