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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

boo f-ing hoo. the sense of entitlement of some people just astounds me. you want a big lavish party for your wedding? pay for it yourself. and be happy you can legally GET married. when my husband and I moved in together, gay marriage was illegal everywhere and nobody rewarded us with so much as a toaster. what a selfish crybaby you are. hope he dumps your whiney ass before making the mistake of marrying you.

You should be expected to pay for your own wedding. HOWEVER, they are being jerks for basically saying "because I didn't get something years ago I'm going to make you suffer now." You shouldn't have even asked them to pay, but that didn't have to be their response. So this is kind of FYL and YDI at the same time.

They don't owe you jack shit for a wedding OR a honeymoon. My husband and I paid for our OWN wedding and honeymoon. YDI for being so arrogant as to assume other people would be paying for YOUR wedding.

Here's a clue, if you can't pay for something yourself DON'T GET IT.... But I suppose you'll be another Obama cry baby case. Just put it all on credit cards like you'll probably do and then when you buy a house (that you can't afford) and don't pay your mortgage, you'll have the rest of us pay your that and your demon spawn that'll grow up thinking the rest of us should pay for them too. Like Judge Judy says "Everyone's at 'It's not my fault - It's not my responsibility' And it's gotta stop!" Pay for your own shit. You should have saved up to pay most of it off by the time you got married anyway. It's not like you didn't know well in advance that you were getting married....

Wow, way to try and drag politics into this when they clearly have no place. Besides, I know a HELL of a lot more dumbass Republican bitches who feel entitled to everything under the sun than I do Democrats. They're also typically from rich Republican families so they think they should get anything they ask for.

Wow, way to bring sides to this, which is funny because I didn't. I said Obama and suddenly there's a democrat to defend him, WHAT A SHOCK... Why don't you pick up a newspaper once and a while.. There's no difference between a rich republican who expects mommy and daddy to take care of them, and a welfare class democrat who expects Obama to take care of them. Grow the **** up and realize how ignorant you really are...

You are getting married not them. You are grown ups not entitled to anything. Pay for you're own damn honeymoon.
