[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why didn't your parents pay for your wedding? It's sad you're still mad about this and jealous of your sister in law. Be mad at your broke parents if you want to be mad at someone.[/quote]

This. [b]A wedding is mainly about the bride and the bride parents pay for it[/b] - at least in my culture.  In recent years, both sets of parents pay for the wedding or in some cases the bride and groom pay for the wedding.   [/quote]

In recent years, I have found that couples in their late 20's and up are able to pay for their own wedding. I do agree that it is the bride that wants the wedding to be a certain way - so that is why the bride's family traditionally pays. I have been to over 20+ weddings, and I have never seen a groom that wants the wedding to be a certain way - that is not how it works. 
 
Why are there so many of these posts, regarding who pays for the wedding?  [b]Of course demanding brides are going to chime in and state that they want someone else to pay for it (without saying as much)![/b]  I have recently seen a groom's parents pay for at least half the wedding - which seems outrageous to me. If you want a certain kind of wedding, and are old enough for "that kind of taste", you pay for that certain kind of wedding, not your parents!

Your age is showing. Brides and grooms care about weddings equally. They also care about taking leave when they have a child. Women even out earn men now. Your gendered assumptions belong in the 80s - with your views on weddings. [/quote]

Disagree, having been to many weddings recently, and knowing many recent grooms. Keep slinging that mud - how's that working for ya? [/quote]
