Dear Pay Dirt,

My niece is getting married and stressing about the budget. They are paying for themselves. Luckily, my niece’s stepmom works at a wedding venue/community center where there is a focus on recycling and affordability. She took my niece and her fiancé over, and they got a lot of free or low price items for the wedding, including a wedding arch, table cloths, napkins, balloons, center pieces (so many mason jars with fairy lights), and a wedding dress. It’s the wedding dress that is turning out to be a problem.

A free dress meant my niece saved enough money so that she could afford her honeymoon. But my sister is foaming at the mouth about it.…
