WeddingsI don't think you're being unreasonable Archie. I think this is not so much about the wedding, but more about the state of her relationship with you, for someone who, you say, 'it's not normal for her to visit you', I think it's quite inappropriate of her to ASK for a contribution towards her wedding (let alone naming a sum). If her relationship with you was better, if she put herself out more to visit you, she wouldn't even have had to ask, you would have, funds willing, probably offered to help. Reading some of the replies below to your post, I get the feeling we all agree she's relying on the bank of Mum and Dad, and anyone else who will help out, but these things should never be asked for. Many family members help out where they can, but in my book, rarely should they be expected and rarely should they be asked for. Stand your ground ArchieUK.ViewDate:

Travel/holiday companion this winterHi CathyB2, if you don't find a skiing partner to go with I can highly recommend a company called Skivo2 who operate in Le Praz, Courchevel - which is still a stone built village with a community but still has a couple of bars, a hotel, and cheese shop, etc., (not a purpose built ski resort like Courchevel 1850). Skivo offer some 'singles' weeks, not like ski-dating (ha ha, just made that one up) but for people who don't have anyone to go skiing with, so everyone gets to know each other. They offer lessons 5 days a week (for 2 hours, thrown in with the price of the holiday) with British BASI instructors, so you will meet other people during your lessons, as well as the bunch you are in the chalet with, which should give you people to ski with after lessons. From a safety point of view I wouldn't recommend being up on the mountain on your own. We're going mid March.
