I'm no Veruca Salt, by any means. But is there something wrong with wanting things? So I want things...I want everything!! And the fact that I can't have those things sometimes makes me so frustrated. But does it say somewhere that if you can't afford something, then you should just forget about it and change your way of thinking? It seems like that's what my mother-in-law would have me do. She's always telling me things like, "don't compare yourself to others", "its not about the money", "you can have a nice wedding on three thousand dollars". Ok, sure...you can, but the average cost of wedding these days is $30,000! And I want a nice wedding in today's standards. Is that too much to ask? 
I understand that we don't have that much money and we can't expect people to pay for us to have a $30,000 wedding. But stop throwing all your "ideas" at me and giving me these cliched answers about money & life. Just because you and your family have simple tastes, doesn't mean I have to have them too. I know what I want and I know that I don't want what you're suggesting. So, either decide how much you're going to give us toward the wedding or just step out of it and let me plan what I want!Woah....maybe I am Veruca Salt after all.
