Is it bad that I used the wedding money to buy a few toys?!
We are a newlywed couple...about 3 weeks now. We had a big wedding of about 200-220 people. We ended up getting a number of gifts including a good some of money. Now, as the guy, I honestly felt that I got "ripped off" and really did not get any gifts that I consider to be cool for a guy, etc. So bottom line, was it wrong for me to use the wedding money to buy a new recliner for us?
I don't see it as a problem as long as it doesn't start trouble between you and your wife. If I were married and my husband wanted to spend some of the money, I would want to go shopping for a recliner and TV with him. This is coming from a woman that hates to shop anywhere other than Best Buy.
It depends. Did you consult her about style and price, or did you go out and buy the Cool Cat Catnapper Chaise Rocker Massager Recliner with Storage Refrigerator and Dual Cupholders?

The wedding money is yours to spend. If the wedding is paid for - do with it what you will. I would have no issue in your spending it on "toys" for the house like a tv or .....a recliner?? You bought a f'g recliner?? For WHERE?

If you didn't consult her, then yes, you acted inappropriately with joint finances.
But the REAL problems are only going to start if you continue saying, "But honey, I bought it for us." You bought it for YOU, so don't piss her off by pretending otherwise.
