[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the brides parents are paying at least $30K, anything above that is on the couple. $30K is a average wedding budget.[/quote]

Some wedding dresses are $10K, that's not much.[/quote]

LOL. Only fools pay that much coin on a dress. In todays day and age, no couple should expect anyone to pay for their wedding except themselves. Have the wedding you can afford. Cut the cord, kids. [/quote]

No one in the younger generations thinks this way. I was stunned that my nanny who lived paycheck to paycheck with her dh spent 4x on her wedding than I did . She also had a Tiffany engagement ring. She and her dh put a lot of that on credit cards. She was pregnant when she worked for us and her baby shower registry was insane. I remember her ordering with gift money an infant bikini with sunglasses. Dh and I are professionals with good salaries. The majority of my kid's baby clothes were used. Bikinis/sunglasses were never considered. [/quote]

You're using your nanny who has zero sense with money as a proxy for all younger generations? Maybe you should try to find other data points

As far as her ring goes, https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/25/business/engagement-gap-covid-signet-jewelers/index.html[/quote]
