hiya...

err.... Josh, not sure if you will return to see any replies to your posting.
As for your case, i feel that there's no right or wrong to it so that's why need to discuss. Of cos, being parents, they would want the best for their children and also have some face lah so it's usually the children that are been squeezed in betwee. As for your fiancee's mum's request, it's exactly the same as my mum and we did give in to her. My mum took 10 tables including APs for those tables. For the dinner, no parents chipped in at all so it's entirely from the APs and after my mum's takings, we happen to still have some profits. But I have an agreement with my mum that should in the event that the remaining APs cannot cover the dinner, then she will have to help cover the balance. But of cos if it really happen that we cannot cover, I doubt we would ask my mum to cover cos my hb did say that we will cover instead.
