In my experience as well, Mdoc. I used to have a closet full of bridesmaid dresses that really knocked me back financially and that I could not wear again. Wish I had kept them as I could use them for my kid’s school play. Am renting some that would be ringers for what I had.

If the parents are not permitted to come to the ceremony, they should gently remind the D of the fact, and say that if that is her choice for the type of wedding she wants, that the parents are not going to pay for that. They would like to have a dinner or a small reception later that they and family and friends can attend. All of this should be said as graciously as possible.
