Dear Abby: Mr. Cheapo is getting married, and his wedding plan is ludicrous
Briefly

Herb, on his third marriage, is asking guests to cover their meal costs at the wedding, which raises concerns about both etiquette and future relationship outcomes. Past complaints from his previous wives about his frugality suggest a pattern that could jeopardize this new union. A suggestion to quietly advise his fiancée to have her prenup reviewed by an attorney is seen as possibly beneficial. Simultaneously, a mother feels overwhelmed by her obligation to call her elderly mother regularly, despite the frustration caused by repetitive conversations and the mother’s excessive concern if calls are missed.
Herb, who is getting married for the third time, is suggesting guests pay for their meals, setting himself up for potential failure again, as done in his past marriages.
The behavior of asking guests to pay for their meals and presenting a prenup indicates that Herb's issues are more about his mindset than ignorance about wedding etiquette.
