[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I change my answer. I have 2 boys and a daughter. I would want my daughter to have a dream wedding and no problem paying for it. I would want to go all out and be part of planning.

If my sons were getting married, I would not just foot the bill. If the girl was wealthy, they could pay for it. I would give for down payment on a house.[/quote]

This is textbook sexism. That you would treat your children differently based purely on their gender is wrong. [/quote]

We are fairly wealthy. I just don’t want to attract gold diggers for my sons. I wouldn’t want to give the future DIL an open check to plan whatever she wants. I assume the bride will be planning the wedding, not my sons.

Given that my kids are in elementary and middle school, this is not something I have to deal with for a very long time. My daughter is only 5.[/quote]

Interesting that you're ok with your daughter attracting a gold digger.

I get feeling like paying for your sons' weddings would be giving DIL a blank check, but you might be surprised by what your sons care about.  My brother only cared about having an open bar (not exactly small $).  My husband wanted a professional photographer and a DJ which I was 100% ok not having, and was not exactly small $ either.
