My fiancé and I are paying for most of our wedding. We agreed that it was not fair to make my parents bear the entire expense when we both have well paying jobs and can afford the wedding we want. My parents and grandparents have offered to pay for my dress and split the cost of the reception/food/drinks with us, which we did not ask them to do, but we are certainly grateful for. My parents have even helped us find vendors and have been very supportive during this stressful time.
My fiancé's parents on the other hand have not been involved whatsoever. We do not expect them to help at all financially (they are divorced and financially strained), but they don't even ask about the wedding or how the planning process is going. It seems they're completely disinterested. I'm not asking them for $$ but at least show some support or interest.
When my fiancé's brother got married last year, his wife's parents coordinated and paid for their rehearsal dinner AND cleaned up. His parents did not contribute in any way.
Their disinterest does not seem to bother my fiancé. Since he knows they can not/will not contribute financially, I feel he has let them off the hook and left it as "that's the way they are". Am I wrong for feeling that his parents should be more supportive and involved?
