Things were going great. My khala went to Pak to go wedding shopping for me since it turned out I couldn't go. My mom was with her and they chose a barat suit for 4K. Then, I guess because of some miscommunication and my mom thinking it was ok, she purchased my walima suit for 2K (after a lot shopping around and haggling). Well, my MIL called today and said that that was WAY over budget and that they wanted to pay...wait for it... $750 dollars. total. Well my mom told her that she has no idea how that's even possible and they settled it but now there's on mention of jewelry/shoes because my dress alone cost double what they wanted.
Basically...I'm not crazy right? 750 is an absurd amount? I went to DC/chi recently and the cheapest suits that weren't completely ugly or simple were upwards of 2K; the ones that I really liked were 6K...so I thought we were getting my in laws a pretty sweet deal...needless to say, it's left a bad taste in my mouth...
