That's insane.There's been a lot going on with us lately. SO's cousin is getting married this August in Mexico and unfortunately it looks like we won't be going now. For the four of us (Myself, SO, SO's daughter and my son) we're looking at $4,800 for 3 days. That was the price quoted by SO's cousin's travel agent. However, when I priced it out myself I came up with $2,500 which seemed more reasonable for 3 days in Mexico. When I called the travel agent and SO's mother they informed us if we book it without the travel agent we won't be able to go on the reception sunset cruise.
But an almost $2,000 price different doesn't justify an 1hr sunset cruise for me so I told SO he can go and me and the kids will stay behind. Long story short now we're taking the kids back to Disney for that week and the price is not even half of the original Mexico trip.
At first I felt like I was over reacting and we should just spend the money and go. BUT after I started thinking about the price and the fact we'll only be there for 3 days that pretty much made up my mind for me at least.

My thoughts exactly.That's insane.
That's what my mother said to me right before I decided not to go. She said it sounds like the guest are paying for a portion of their wedding if not the whole thing.Sounds like they were making the guest pay out of pocket for the reception and cruise.
What gives? Is Valentine's Day celebrating a thing of the past? Are you all celebrating with your mates?
If this is the crux of their argument, then Thanksgiving, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and President’s Day are all “fake” holidays (I didn’t touch the religious holidays ) but I’m sure they plan trips, see family, plan cookouts etc for these days for a variety of reasons, so why not take the time out of our busy schedules to celebrate romantic love and re-center our romantic relationships?They all say they don't anything for their wives/girlfriends because it's a fake holiday and maintain that they treat their SOs special all year long
