Today, I found out that my fiancé's parents are refusing to pay for a honeymoon, because they "didn't have one, so neither will we", meaning they won't pay for a single thing for our wedding. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, as I'm traditional, this that means I learned the bride's parents pay for wedding, the groom's parents pay for the honeymoon. My in-laws didn't pay for a honeymoon. Fine - they disappointed me, I'll disappoint them with no grandchildren. No honeymoon, no grandchildren. FML
Today, I found out less than three weeks before my wedding that my fiancé will lose his new, great paying job, unless we cancel our nonrefundable honeymoon. FML
Today, I found my fiancé is cheating on me. Our wedding is in 26 days and everything is already paid for. FML
Today, we gave my in-laws-to-be our wedding invitations. Their first reaction was to assume we needed money and told us they couldn't help pay for the wedding. Their second move was to book hair and make-up for themselves. Congratulations? FML
Today, because my fiancé is criminally incompetent at budgeting, I'm now having to pay the first installment for my own wedding ring. FML
Today, I was told by one of my bridesmaids that she can't afford the travel costs to get to my wedding, after telling me that she didn't need me to organize alternate free travel for her. I'm getting married in less than two weeks. FML
Today, my fiancée told me she can't marry me. Our wedding day is tomorrow and around 20 of our 180 guests attending have travelled half way around the world just for the occasion. FML
Today, six weeks before my wedding, my mother decided to claim that she never agreed on paying for it and that she doesn't think she will. Now I have six weeks to scavenge enough cash for the wedding she planned in the first place. FML
Today, three days before their rent was due, my fiancé's friends moved out of our basement without saying a word to us. On their way out, they took an envelope from my locked desk with $800 in it that was for our wedding in six months. FML
Today, my fiancé told me he didn't have the money to make payments on my engagement ring and that I either have to return it, or make the payments myself. Now we aren't engaged any more, and are "dating." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why don't you save and pay for it yourselves? That IS an option, you kno.

Agreed with the previous postings. Honestly, if you're old enough to be getting married, then you should be able to afford to pay for the wedding and the honeymoon. If you can't afford it, then you need to figure something out. It's not the parents responsibility, it's yours. YDI for not planning ahead.

pay for your own wedding?

If you can't pay for your own wedding, save the money and just get legally married. Or is that not good enough? Do you just want to get married or do you HAVE to have a huge party? Silly whining. Go on honeymoon when you're well established and can actually afford it without going bankrupt or depending on someone else.

I'm sure it's been said a gojillion times, but they don't pay for that, not even traditionally. on the upside, at least you won't get signed up for a surprise... abstinence seminar? I got nothin. Go to Utah for your honeymoon, they like sex there.

YDI for thinking that mommy and daddy will provide you with anything you want.

Seriously? Pay for your own honeymoon. It's a privilege. My fiance and I are getting married in one month today, and we decided to marry less than a week ago. He's paying for the entire thing (food, my dress, bridesmaid dresses, hall, honeymoon). If you guys can't afford to pay for a wedding and honeymoon, why would you even bother getting married? Would you be able to support yourselves?
