[quote=Anonymous]I understand your question, OP, even if most others don't. I think weddings have changed. It used to be that parents hosted the wedding and rehearsal dinner, and the wedding was mostly about them "giving away" their children to each other. Weddings have evolved quite a bit, and now, even if the parents are the ones paying, the event is more about the couple (as it should be). My sister and I got married 18 years apart and I even saw the change in dynamic there. My parents paid for both of our weddings but my mom planned my sister's entire wedding, while my sister kind of helped (she picked her dress, she picked the flowers from the florist my mom found, my mom made the guest list and asked my sister who she wanted to invite, etc...) whereas, my mom helped me plan my wedding, I asked my mom to give me her guest list to add to my own, etc... I bet when our kids get married, they'll be paying for their own wedding, inviting their own guests, etc...[/quote]
