My daughter is getting married and the grooms parents do not want to help with any flower costs. This leaves it up to her father & I (which is fine-obviously flowers need to be bought). My question is are we responsible to buy the groom’s family (Mother, father, step-mom, grandfather & 2 grandmothers) flowers? I don’t want to come off rude but at the same time I feel like saying this florist is where we are getting the flowers & if You would like flowers for your family you can order them there. What are your thoughts on this sticky situation?

    I think you are being the nurturing mother women are, most of the time. However, flowers for future in laws should not be your biggest concern. Do you plan on supporting them? I would think, as mentioned several times, postponing the wedding would be in order and at the least a courthouse wedding. Out of consideration for my mother, i would never consider allowing her to foot the bill for a wedding and I not have a job. Just my thoughts.....
