As it should be, the path to married bliss is frequently accompanied by love, but the impending costs of weddings can convert happiness into stress.

A father expressed his frustration on Reddit, explaining the dilemma he encountered upon learning of his daughter’s expensive wedding aspirations.

The New York-born father talked about his initial genuine promise to support his daughter financially at her wedding on the Reddit thread AITA (Am I The A*e). Parents often make this commitment to help their children as they start their married lives.

But when the father realized how ambitious his daughter was about getting married, his generosity was put to the test in an unexpected way.

The daughter’s ideal wedding, in contrast to popular belief, was an extravagant destination wedding with between 100 and 200 guests, held in the breathtaking scenery of New Zealand!

Not only that, but the astounding $200,00 price tag would accompany it. The father was faced with a dilemma after learning of this: he was conflicted over pleasing his daughter and his fears of upsetting his family by the ostentatious display of wealth, which he referred to as “burning money.”

“My wife feels I should do it because we can afford it, but I find it to be a pointless showing of wealth,” the parent wrote, expressing his conflict. Now my daughter is not talking to me, nor is my wife. Which made me wonder, “Should I burn money, alienate family members, and bite the bullet to make my daughter’s dream wedding come true?”

With quick reflexivity, Redditors shared their thoughts, with one writing: “She shouldn’t be having a destination wedding if she can’t afford one on her own.”

Though it sounds harsh, it’s the truth. Not to mention that the cost of the flights, accommodation, and other expenses is significantly more. would she be purchasing her own ticket, or would you also need to pay for them? and the ticket of her fiancé.

“Not to mention that she’s thrown a tantrum and isn’t talking to you tells me she doesn’t deserve it,” they said. I think it’s wrong for us to inherit our parents’ wealth. One Redditor even offered a compromise: the father should only pay as much as he felt comfortable with, allowing the daughter to organize her wedding within that budget. I don’t expect any legacy from my dad if he goes away.

“Give her the budget and determine the amount of money you are willing to give her.”

Tell her everything that belongs to her and her fiancé above. Make sure you let her know if the bridal couple and their family will be traveling, among other things. They wrote, “She can afford a blow-out wedding if that’s what she wants.”

The father has not provided any updates as of now, other than the fact that his daughter is calling him a jerk and won’t talk to him. How unappreciative!

This tale serves as a poignant reminder of how difficult it can be to strike the right balance between realism and kindness, particularly when one is a parent.
