My fiancé and i had been engaged for about a year before we decided to have a DW. When we first announce to his mom that we were actually going to start planning our wedding, she immediately said " I hope you dont expect anything from me. I'm retired and my funds aren't the same". I was annoyed because for one we never asked her anything. Two, she blows her money on frivolous things. But the part that really got me was that she told me that she needs to be involved in the planning process and I have to email her all the details. I said "okay" with a smile and never emailed her anything. So to answer your question, no, my fi parent's will not be contributing to the wedding costs. I kind of like it that way anyway!
