Recently on Reddit, a big discussion was triggered by a Redditor who sought advice from the community on whether she was wrong for refusing to pay for a free bar at her daughter’s wedding.
They Have a Great Relationship
The Redditor said that both she and her husband had a great relationship with the daughter, but the drinks’ cost had caused a major argument.
She Agreed to Pay
OP said that she had agreed to cover most of the wedding expenses, including catering, flowers, and cake.
They said they wouldn’t pay for a wedding dress, veil, and headpiece; these were a gift bought for the daughter by the grandparents.
Drinks Were the Issue
When it came to the drinks, the daughter and her fiancé wanted a free bar paid for by OP and her husband.
The daughter was upset with the mom for not agreeing to cover the cost of every drink for their guests, but she was insistent they wouldn’t do it.
Things Got Heated
OP described the fiancé as usually someone who is laid back, but who called her an expletive and accused her of “trying to control them and dictate what they do for their wedding, and I don’t have the right to.”
She Tried to Be Pragmatic
To get around the issue, OP proposed to set a budget of $10 per drink and asked that the guests or the couple would have to cover the remaining cost.
It Seemed to Be the Right Approach
She said that expensive drinks were between $7-$8, so $10 seemed about right.
She Wasn’t Upset About It
She thought, “I didn’t think it was unreasonable for me to set the boundaries for my budget, so I wasn’t upset about it.”
It Triggered Them
OP called her daughter to tell her what she was doing, but it only seemed to make things worse.
Her Daughter Was Still Angry
Her daughter was still angry; a limit per drink wasn’t enough, and she and her fiancé again called OP another bad name.
She Was Setting a Drink Limit Only
OP recognized that her decision to set a $10 limit per drink may have made her seem like he was in the wrong, however, she added that this didn’t mean she was setting a limit on her overall contribution.
