Are me and my partner bad people for having a more expensive, traditional wedding then his little sister?

4 years ago my stister in law got married. The wedding was very rushed as she wanted her and my now husband's late grandmother to be there be before she died.

Her and her partner didn't have much money as they'd just bought there first house together and they'd spent most there savings on bag packing. Plus they just aren't very responsible people when it comes to money.

They got married at the registry office. They didn't have any decorations or anything. Couldn't even afford bridesmaids or groomsmen. They had a decent party and everyone had a good time. Her wedding dress was lovely but it wasn't a actual wedding dress it was just a white dress she bought off ASOS. No one judged them for having a cheap wedding and everyone was really understanding and still enjoyed themselves. They didn't have a honeymoon either and went back work the next day

This summer me and my now husband's got married. We are 5 years apart and have worked are ass off saving for are future together. I'm also a wedding planner so I know my stuff and can get discount when I offered to help his stister she didn't want to know.

She thinks she earns more money than me and my partner so when found out but are wedding was gonna be a lot more expensive than hers she quickly judged us and made us out to be really tacky and showy people.

My husband works two jobs and I work full time as well as me and my husband bouth own a rental property together it's not are fault we made smarter choices with are money.

I had a really beautiful wedding dress that wasn't crazy expensive it was around £1000 and you should have seen her face. All these years it's always been how amazing, beautiful and wonderful she is and she couldn't stand people paying attention to me for once.

She tried to make our big day about herself the whole wedding. We tried to be bigger people and ignore her. When we came back off are honeymoon my boyfriend had a word with his mum and stister and the situation they explained his stister was upset as felt her wedding was upstaged
