Oh we offended them the same amount of money ,If they just went to Bubba ( he’s a Justice of the piece ya know . )

Its all good fellas, I was a few beers deep when heard the news , and posted . Today our daughter is stopping by, I’ll tell her, not to,let this be an issue between her and the fiancé, or between them and his parents .

Just move on, don’t bring it up and to be gracious and polite , which are my hallmarks .

My parents said they'd be willing to go up to 20k. 

 

Hey I married into that farm, a price far to great for ordinary men to endure.

Nothing wrong with marrying into hunting land!

It's obvious, who the better man is here. There are some things like integrity, that money can't buy. Good for you Larry. During the festivities, you can quietly reflect on what you did to make it happen. So can the future FIL.

Sounds like there has to be a reason for them to offer $10K and then rescind the offer. What did your daughter say her fiance said about it?

I love the fiancé, he’s solid, asked me for my daughters hand in marriage, and he was in fear of me lol . I’m not about to,cause a family riff , and no there’s no hardship on there end .
Side note the grandfather just died , his Dad said he’d pay for the sons airfare but not our daughters, then his super rich sister, said that’s BS and paid for our daughters lol .it’s just odd 

Maybe they don’t like her? Maybe they think she isn’t good enough for their baby boy..

Who knows but if she loves him and he loves her who cares

They have money because it makes sense to them to let you spend your money not theirs lol.

Also if your daughter is that well set up you do prenups. No doubt ever. Negligent not to.

Do what you feel is right on what you spend and don't sweat it. Grudges and bad feelings are not worth it.

I'd get wicked drunk and during my slurred speech mention "how much I've  drank since it's all on me anyway might as well enjoy it". Then slap the other mother in law on the ass and say "right tight ass!".  Lol

In reality you will no doubt handle it perfectly for your daughter.  Enjoy the day and you'll forget about it the minute you see the smile on her face. 

Weddings are a 50/50 investment these days anyway, but maybe like bitcoin you will strike it rich with a new family member.
