Would you kill your daughter if you spent $45K on her wedding

Question

and she told you less than a year later that they decided they just want to be friends and are getting divorced?

(This girl is the friend of my step-daughter-in-law)

Answer 1

i would make her pay me back!! lol

Answer 2

First of all I wouldn't have spent that much in the first place. I find it odd that they are divorcing that quickly. As the daughter's mother, I would suggest that before they do divorce, and since you spent so much money on their wedding, they should go to counseling before throwing in the towel.  

Answer 3

I would tell her my disappointment and ask for some of my money back!

She gets married again,she pays for it!

Answer 4

Kill her, no. But I would ask someone to kill me for being stupid enough to spend 45K on a wedding!

Answer 5

No I would just always feel happy about myself.

Answer 6

Killing would be too good..I'd force her to stay married until I got my money's worth...what's 45K of misery equal to now adays? lol....

Answer 7

Yikes. No, but I might want to! However, I am wondering if the divorce might have been predicted...not because of cost of wedding, but if she was flaky before...

Answer 8

I'd definitely kill myself.  What a waste of money.  My fiance's aunt spent 15,000 on a wedding that lasted 6 months, I thought tht was bad enough!!

Answer 9

probably, but I never would have spent that much in the first place.

Answer 10

I wouldn't kill her, but I would maim her a little...That's ridiculous--the 45k price tag, and the Hollywood-type divorce.

Answer 11

Thank Goodness I have boys.

Answer 12

Nope but I'd let her know next time she gets married she's on her own one wedding per child!

Answer 13

Nope.  I'd kill myself for spending $45k on her wedding.

Answer 14

no, i'd killing myself for being dumb enough to spend that much money on the wedding in the first place. That is ridiculous!  

Answer 15

No. Murder is no excuse.

It is smarter for them to divorce now rather than when they have 5 kids.

They are making a smart choice if they can't keep it together.

Whomever paid $45K made the CHOICE to do so. It's there own fault

Answer 16

1- if you let her spend the money that your own fault.  that's what budgets are for

2. no matter what cost was spent would you want your daughter to stay in amarriage if she were unhappy?  

Answer 17

No, because I wouldn't have spent $45K on her wedding to begin with....

And, I wouldn't kill her, because like my mom frequently reminds me about MY children, you shouldn't kill them, because they are NOT worth the jail time!!!  

Seriously, there's nothing the mom can do here.  My primary concern would be for my daughter's happiness.  While I wouldn't be happy about her getting divorced, what I spent on the wedding wouldn't matter to me at that point, I would just want her to be happy.  

However, I certainly wouldn't pony up another $45K when it's time for her 2nd marriage.....

Answer 18

I'd never spend $45,000 on a wedding. Anyhow if two 'adults' think they're old enough and mature enough to get married, they should pay for it. jmho

Answer 19

Nope, but I'd appoint a conservator to manage my money. Anyone who'd spend $45K on a wedding obviously isn't of sound mind.

Answer 20

I'd be kicking myself in the teeth for spending that much. And when she gets married again I wouldn't give her a penny.
