Opening wedding gifts-not invited

My son recently married a girl from a very rich family and it was a beautiful wedding. Our family even helped pay for the wedding because her family met with us months prior and requested we pay for the flowers and the bar tab, along with the rehearsal dinner. We did agree and couldn't have been more gracious. This is our oldest son of four, and we didn't want any bumps in the road. The day after the wedding both families met at the bride's parents home for brunch, to have the couple open gifts. When I asked when they would begin, my son said the bride's parents said it wasn't a good idea to open gifts in front of us, so not to hurt people's feelings. We left shortly after, and the next day my son said they opened everything with her family. I have been upset all week, not sure how to handle this situation. I'm extremely disappointed in my son for allowing this to happen.
