Modern Morals: My best friend says she can’t afford to go to my foreign wedding next year. Is it insensitive to ask her to get a loan?
Imagine having so little insight into a) human relationships and b) financial affairs.
Excess and wasteful spending around weddings must be one of the top 5 financial mistakes people make. Saving up for the experience you both want is one thing, but the surprisingly common situation where people are getting into debt is woeful. Expecting your bridesmaid (a role which is a burden at the best of times) to put themselves under financial strain to carry your train down the aisle is particularly bizarre.
Has anyone here ever wished they had spent more on their wedding? Do you know anyone who has said that? On the other hand, I do know people who had to delay buying a house and having children because they blew 5 figures on the wedding.
