Hi,
My wedding date is getting closer and I am worried I won't be able to afford my own wedding dress! My fiance and I are from different cultures (countries) and in my country groom's parents and the groom pay for the entire wedding including the bride's wedding dress. The bride's family pays for a big engagement party and groom's tux for the wedding day.
I already told my parents that we can't expect it to be our way so my fiance and i decided to share our wedding cost. However, because traditionally the groom buys the bride's dress in my culture (we believe it's bad luck to buy your own wedding dress) my parents are assuming that he will still get it for me. And my parents already bought him a fancy suit.
If I had the money I'd go get my own dress and tell my parents my FI got it. (I can't tell them he won't) But I don't have any money to pay for a dress. And I don't know how to ask my FI if he could get me a dress. Because that will sound weird to him. So depressed.
