Wedding Forum - Parents helping with sisters wedding but...

Hi, so my fiancé and I got engaged recently. We have been together 7 years, have had our ups & downs but are very happy & excited. Now we are beginning to start planning our wedding but I can't help but feel a bit miffed at my parents.
My sister got engaged to her now husband after 2 years together, they married a year later. My parents paid £800 towards rthe reception and they held the evening do at my parents home and my parents paid for all the drink etc for it. They put it around £2000 in total.
Now they also brought my sister a house as a wedding present! Yes a house! Nice hey?! This all happened 6 years ago so a fairly long time.
Since then both my sister & I have had a child each, my parents paid for my sisters son's christening, the whole lot was around £1500 but nothing for my daughters. I could go on with lists of things they have paid for for her but I'm sure you get the picture.
So since my sister got married my parents divorced my mum getting around a million in the divorce and my dad kept his 2 companies and 4 properties.
I have worked all my life, paid for my daughter to attend nursery instead of asking my parents to have her like my sister did with her son. I am not highly paid at all, in fact I am on minimum wage but never the less I have worked since I was 14 with only maternity leave as time off. My sister on the other hand has just done cleaning work for cash and her hubby works full time.
So anyway now I'm not upset with my sister at all, none of this is her fault but my parents are offering nothing towards my wedding, I'm in a council flat and recently went into emergency accommodation in a b&b for 3 months and my parents did nothing to help me. I'm now on the way to getting permeant social housing so I know my dad isn't planning on giving me a house to live in or he wouldn't of put me through all of this.
So me and my fiancé can't afford a wedding of any value, most probably it will be a civil ceremony & down the pub or something similar.
Can't help but feel it's so unfair.... Yes I know life isn't fair & I shoukd 't expect anything but this is really upsetting me. Plus my mum is currently undergoing chemotherapy and heaven forbid anything happened I want to get married sooner rather than later.....
Am I being irrational? Maybe I'm just being a brat I don't know.... Advise please x

Thank you flossie. I find it hazard to approach the subject of money and I have always thought one day it will even out.....but I don't think it will. I will most probably keep my pride and just have a little wedding but know always in my mind that I did the best I could we what I had :/ xx

Taking the financial factor out of it completely, you still deserve an explanation like April said above as to why you have been treated less favourably than your sister! It is an awkward situation though and can be hard to bring up, but I would want an explanation if it was me.

You will still have a perfect wedding without any financial help and would get a great sense of satisfaction knowing you have worked hard to pay for your wedding yourself. It's nice to have a bit of help but it's certainly not the be all and end all x

Maybe it's because they're divorced? One might be waiting for the other one to offer to help out, I'd talk to both and see what response you get.

^^ good point!!

Talk to them, maybe you need to ask?

Agree with the other ladies about asking, they're probably so used to you just getting on with things without them they may feel they'd be stepping on your toes
