Thank you for the support and advice ladies. Bridezilla has come to mind many times in the past few months at family functions. My SIL and niece started out with a "budget wedding" and asked about the pictures. Sure. I can do that to help them out. However, this thing has completely exploded. Even her mom (my SIL) is done with the planning. My DH is an usher in the wedding and "to save us money" she asked that he and his twin brother buy matching black suits instead of renting tuxes. Since my hubby has worn his one and only gray suit 3 times in the past 10 years, I really don't think a new black suit is necessary for her wedding. I am sure a new suit costs more than the rental of a tux ($150 in our area).
I may go to my SIL and discuss my fears first. Wedding photographers in our area start at $1500. Maybe she can rein in my niece and suggest an outside photographer. I also have two children to care for the day of the wedding. I don't feel like I can handle the stress.
