I just read a question in which several people suggested that the bride's family should pay for the wedding. Do people really expect that still? I'm nowhere close to getting married, but I would never expect my family to foot the bill for my wedding!

  1. I think it's different now a days because woman are more independent and couples are living together before they get married. It's not the 1950's anymore. I still say if they can help pay for it they should but not the whole thing.  


  2. My parents payed and offered to pay, however me and my husband worked out the best deals we could find so we could save them money.

  3. That is an oldschool way of thinking.  Most people I know these days pay for their own wedding!  Or both sets of parents chip in.  These are remnants of the days when dowrys were common.  Um, women aren't liabilities anymore so that tradition should go out the window.  I'm with you!

  4. Any more both sets of parent seem to contribute what they can. But because the Brides parents appear to host the wedding then they would be expected to pay.

    I

  5. Only if they can afford to pay for the wedding, then yes they still should.

  6. I don't believe in this, but that's my opinion.

    I believe people should pay for their own.

  7. Yes because the groom is gonna pay the rest of his life.

  8. i sure hope not. my family has almost no money and my boyfriends has a bit more. it would be really bad if that was still expected.

  9. No. These days more couples in their mid-twenties at least are getting married, and want to pay for their own weddings, to have things their own way. Just an independence thing.

  10. its not really like that these days. sometimes people go 50/50 and sometimes the couple getting married has to pay 4 everything it just depends on the families and wat they decide

  11. We are paying for it out of pocket ourselves..

  12. I dont believe that they *should*. If parents offer to pay or give some money towards the wedding as a gift, thats a different story.

    As far as that question.. I saw that too. People will answer anything, especially if they think its what the asker wants to hear.
