Instead of paying for bridesmaids dresses, perhaps the parents can offer to pay a financial advisor to “tutor” the daughter on a weekly basis to make up for the lack of life skills she thinks her parents have denied her. Although I originally thought the parents should pay for the college, just in case she gets divorced, I have also flip-flopped and now think the ungrateful child should do it all on her own: wedding, first and last month’s rent, and education expenses. I would give the happy couple a nice wedding gift and wish them the best of luck.
