Dear Moral Money,

One of my relatives has recently just got engaged. She and her fiance want to get married next year, but have chosen to go abroad, to a country where there is no family connection – none of the guests live there – but they have chosen the destination because it will be scenic and “cheaper”.

My family and I are expected to attend, but our finances are already spoken for over the next few months – we have already committed to an expensive holiday later this year and we’re expecting a big tax bill that we’ve been budgeting for.
