My mom said she’d pay for my wedding if I made the vendor deposits. I did, and now she’s pulling out after an argument about guests. What now?

Your mom offered to pay for your wedding. All you had to do was put down the vendor deposits until she reimbursed you later.

Internal - Boss Wedding Invite Payment
