Me too. I'm Italian and my first marriage was to an Italian. We had the big wedding and all and in those days it was pretty much the custom that the bride's family paid for the wedding. There were certain customs we followed. While we hoped we would get enough money to help with our honeymoon, we did not expect or ask how much invited guests were going to give. If my father's future SIL had asked him a question like that, he would have been thrown out of our home. Things are a lot different today as far as customs and who pays for what. Weddings are costly. But, common sense, courtesy and respect have not gone out of style. This guy is greedy.
