[quote=Anonymous]We are so happy and thrilled about our daughter's upcoming wedding.
Regarding the boys parents.  They are nice people.  They both have strong personalities and say what is on their mind.  
We are in different states and we have occasion to visit their area a few times a year.  They have never invited us over.   We will get together for a quick breakfast before we leave for home.  We enjoy being with them, but they are not the warmest people in the world.
Both our kids have chosen a beautiful wedding, but it is expensive (we are cutting costs wherever possible).  They have been saving for a home and are just about ready to shop for one.  They are putting off a honeymoon so they will be able to afford their home.  We have brought up the cost to his parents and  their response is "Yes this is going to be expensive".  His mom says they should have whatever they want and that anything goes.  
So, the financial burden of the wedding is falling on us, the bride's parents.  I know the wedding planner at our venue says that many times it is shared between the couple getting married and both sets of parents.  Also, many older (over 30) couples getting married take care of it themselves.  Our kids are mid 20's.
I would love to hear how others have handled this.  Thanks
