Dear Fonseca
My friends and family are upset with me because I am charging to eat dinner at my upcoming wedding. My fiance and I made the decision to charge people for their food because we've been to tons of weddings and seen how people waste it. Things are tight because of inflation so why should we pay for a plate that won't be eaten? My friends and family say my fiance and I are cheap for charging. They say they are going out of their way to come to the wedding so we should at least pay for their food even if they don't touch it. What do you think? Are we cheap or not?
