[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of the parents need to pay for the wedding.  If they pay, it is out of the goodness of their heart and the weight of their wallet.  No child is owned a wedding by their parents.

We are South Asian and our DD married a WASP American.  We decided to pay for our DD's multi-day wedding.  Groom's family paid for rehearsal as is their custom.   Now my DS is marrying from within our own community. We will follow whatever the bride's side decide. We will spend the same amount that we spent on our DD's wedding (350K).  Money not spent will revert back to us.  For us non-negotiables are -
- Wedding in a comfortable, convenient, secure and appropriate place so our elderly relatives and small children can attend in comfort. No beach or farm house kind of stuff for us. No castles in remote locations. 
- All our relatives, friends and their families will be invited. So venue cannot have space restriction. Willing to pay for that. 
- Guests are the most important element of the celebration. The food, venue, drinks, DJ - must reflect that.

You can’t get everyone to a remote castle for $350K? [/quote]
