Anna and Mark, a newlywed couple, are struggling with deep disappointment after spending $70,000 on their dream wedding, only to receive just $4,000 in gifts from their 300 guests. They had hoped for at least $11,000 and even borrowed $10,000 from Anna’s mother, who is now demanding repayment. The financial strain forced them to cancel their honeymoon, leaving them feeling devastated and overwhelmed. Family and friends criticize their spending, offering little sympathy. With mounting stress and fear for their future, they seek advice on how to cope with their unexpected financial burden and emotional turmoil.
