I in no way intended to offend. I don't see how my initial comment seemed to upset people. it seemed the logical thing to say, but hey ho....
as for your disposition, I agree, they are well out of order to make such demands at such short notice. in all honesty, it leaves you little choice. you can hardly cancel. I think you have done the right thing by paying. what you need to do now, for the sake of your missus and the party itself, is think no more of it until the party is over. smile when you see Margaret, and if she feels bad for having you pay, simply tell her it's worth it for her. DO NOT speak to guests about it tomorrow at the venue, do not discuss it with staff during the party. you MUST wait until AFTER the event before discussing it further with friends, family and the venue. it will only take over your mood, mind and emotion and ruin a potentially great day. enjoy the party and make sure Margaret enjoys it more. at the end of the day, it's only money. it can be replaced. not like a memory of a special day ruined by a day-long grudge.
