If you think it is/was too expensive then why book it?
By definition if you have agreed to go ahead with a booking, you have concluded the projected cost is worth it, otherwise you would not have booked it.
Family pressure may have pushed you, but if you had genuinely thought it was not worth it, no amount of pressure would force you to book it.
Did you read my post where I said it was a special treat for the daughters family as she was made "redundant" the same day the lockdown started!
