People are so nosey ! $$

I have a close friend always asking me how we are able to afford ours. She always says things like "I just don't know how you do it, I've budgeted it out and I could never be able to afford the wedding I want", which I feel is very intrusive as she knows she makes more than I do. I work my butt off and save and put away & work two jobs, and of course have tons of help from family! But I don't think that's anyone's business!!

YES and I am so annoyed. We are doing an all-inclusive venue that is local to my hometown, which has a bigger upfront price tag (but really comes out to about average what the other places are once you factor everything in). People who have heard it is expensive immediately ask how much we're spending or who's paying for it. I was at a gathering following my grandfather's funeral and a woman (who was getting married in two weeks at the time) was asking questions about the wedding because she was still planning hers. She asked about the venue location and literally shouted "OH MY GOD WHAT IS YOUR BUDGET" when my mom answered her question about where it was.

My FMIL is being terrible about the whole thing and constantly bugs us asking if my parents have paid for anything yet. She paid for the venue and the officiant which totals less than $300. And we didn't ask her to do any of this. So I'm super irritated that she keeps asking because I wasn't planning on asking anything of anyone. My parents have paid for much more than she has/will and I want her to shut up about it

I was asked if my parents are paying for the wedding. I was like, "I am 52 years old, they are dead, so.....no."

I can see this as an innocent question. I saw a video by Vox the other day on why weddings are so expensive. One of them was no one talks about wedding prices or the industry so vendors can name their price and no one will really know if they are getting ripped off or not. I've always wondered what other people are paying and if their getting help just because I'm stressed about money and wonder if others feel the same or if it's normal. America is one culture that is weird about money though. I've learned other cultures are not as much.
