I don't think so, but depends on how close you are to these friends and their parents. If you've never met the parents, then don't even feel bad saying no!
No, you guys are not dicks at all. Most weddings require you to pay per person, so why do you have to pay for someone you don't know. It was rude on his part, but people do it.
Not at all! There are a few people I would accommodate like that, but for the most part I would say no too. It would be dependent on their situation though.
My FI had to think for a second, but he's certain that he's never met them. I reinforced to him that I want the most important words that I ever say to him to be in front of people that we know and love - not strangers. Also, wouldn't you feel awkward being at a wedding for a couple that you didn't know? I know that I would. We decided to tell our guest that if his parents not coming meant that he couldn't make it to let us know. We definitely want him there, so I suppose that we can spend an extra $60 if necessary (but that doesn't mean I'll be happy about it).
No, you are not dicks. I already got a request from one of FI's friends asking if he can bring his mom to the wedding so she can check out the winery where it is being held. Umm, it's open to the public everyday but Thanksgiving and Christmas. She can go on her own time.
Whew! We already heard back from the guest saying that it's not a big deal if his parents can't come. That's a good thing - so now all I have to do is forget that someone even asked that. Hmm, though as I was typing that last sentence, it occurred to me that since we're friends with both this guest and his wife, it's not all that different from inviting two single guests who are allowed to bring guests. Oh well. What's done is done, and the only drama is in my mind, once again.
that's a really bizarre request! they don't really expect you to say yes to that do they? especially if you've never met them? maybe tell the friend that you're trying to keep the wedding intimate?
I think it was good of you to say no! 60 bucks is 60 bucks. You could use the for the HM!

My FI just got an email from one of our guests saying that his parents are going to be in town the weekend of our wedding, so he was curious if they could come to it. Ummm... Are we dicks for saying "no"?
