[quote=Anonymous]We don’t believe that the brides’ families should pay for the wedding but our son’s wife’s family had feelings about wanting to pay for good share of it. So we just paid for whatever we could to reduce the burden on them as they paid for dress, reception and cake (such as renting chairs and furniture for outside ceremony/ professional photographer/ modest but thoughtful gift bags for guests/ modest forms of alcohol). We both agreed to do whatever we could to keep costs down but not compromise on what was important to our children. We had family members act as MC, family friend who is ordained conduct the ceremony, free music over loud speakers and just wine, beer, soda and water rather than expensive cocktails). It was a beautiful and happy day. It was important to both sides that the wedding honor the love between our children in ways that they wanted but to keep costs down as much as possible. [/quote]
