My parents spent $60K on my sister’s wedding.
When I got engaged, they gave me $2K.
Their reason? “You’re older. You can handle it.”
So my fiancé and I planned a small wedding on a tight budget.
Before the wedding, my sister called it “embarrassing.”
On the big day, everyone was shocked—in a good way.
We had a beautiful outdoor ceremony, handmade decor, a potluck, and so much love.
In my speech, I thanked everyone who helped.
I didn’t mention my parents.
Afterward, my mom said, “You made it look like we didn’t help.”
I replied, “I thanked the people who did.”
Now my family is divided.
I’m proud of our wedding—but did I cross a line?
