I seem to have daft weddings on the mind, can you help ?

Hi Folks,

My immediatly previous Q relates to things that go wrong at weddings, so please continue with your tales of stuff that goes wrong at these occasions.

It is perhaps that we "celebrate" 25 years of an odd life together, very harmonious, but chaotic, living in the Mid-East, Northern Africa, UK, USA, so no real sense of what the heck we are doing sometimes.

Two kids, who are great, but too great sometimes also.

However, the wedding theme brings to mind that my Father-in-Law owes me about £1,500.

I thought that the Father of the bride payed for the wedding.

Not in my case.

He is a University lecturer, so extremely forgetful, so remiss as to not pay for things, so to avoid any embarrasment, I stumped up the cash to pay people.

Should I now go to him and say "Mike, remember our wedding ? you owe me £1,500"

Or is that a bit mean, as his daughter is still my best person on the planet.

Any thoughts ?

Bob
