#FunkeSays: How to compromise when your parents pay

It is time for another episode of #FunkeSays. This time it is about how to get the wedding you want even if your parents or in-laws are paying. Hope you have followed FunkeSays vlog series. If not, you really should.

Funke starts off saying that first ask your parents or in-laws the kind of wedding they want. If you have different visions, then you have to compromise. Furthermore, she suggests that on the wedding day, you can have an area dedicated to your friends and make different provisions for them. For example, you can have different table decor or provide a separate caterer.

She recommends that you pay for some things yourself, as adding to the budget can help you infuse some of what you want. You can have what you want in different ways but must compromise in some areas. You can meet some of the vendors that your parents are hiring and let them know at least what you’ll like.

In life we can’t always get what we want but we can find a way to get some things.

Ultimately, use your gut to select.
