My father was the one who paid the money and said they “suggested” a donation, not a fee or charges for my wedding

You are the one that implied it was a fee for a wedding, supposedly because you got a girl pregnant at 18. I’ll call that a lie.

Sounds right; and not only for weddings, but also funerals and annulments; with requested donations those who have more can give more so the poor can have access to a Catholic wedding, funeral, or annulment evaluation.
