When your FI and parents don't agree.....
So for the most part, my FI loves and respects my parents and they him. This wedding process has brought out sides in everyone I had not planned for. For example, when my parents set the guest limit at 200, and my FI wanted to invite himself over 100, we had a huge blow-up after I told him no. We seemd to work that one out, but now my parents dont want to have a videographer at the wedding because 1) they think it is intrusive, 2) unnecessary and 3) too costly. I don't really care one way or another, but my FI really wants one there. What do I do? Tell him to pay for it on his own? He is extremely generous and giving, but don't want to paint my parents as anal and restrictive (which they're not- we're having a huge, expensive, saturday night fete). Has this happened to anyone else? Which side did you 'anchor' with? THANKS!
