AITA for accepting money from my parents for my wedding then eloping.
My parents gave each of my brothers $50,000 when they graduated from university as a downpayment on their home. When I graduated they did not do the same for me. I asked about it and they said my husband should provide. I wasn’t married. I still lived at home.
Three years later I met my husband. We dated for a year and then we got engaged. My parents were overjoyed. When we set a date they gave me a check for $50,000 to pay for the wedding. WTF?
I took the check and we eloped. We then used the check for a downpayment on a house. My husband had a similar amount saved up so we are in a good spot with equity.
My parents bare furious that they didn’t get a big wedding for all their friends and family to attend.
They said that they gave me the money for a wedding. My argument is that I got married and had leftover money. Accurate in my books.
My brothers are on their side so I am here to ask if I’m in the wrong.
AITA?
