[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]

So you would give your son a house downpayment but not your daughter? What if she would rather have the downpayment? Of course, paying for a house downpayment doesn’t do as much for appearances does it? [/quote]

What if the daughter just wants the money for her house and plans to elope? I wonder if mother of the bride will be ok with that.[/quote]

I would have preferred this!  My daughters will have the option. I won't proliferate sexist traditions of "giving my daughter away" as she's not mine to give. I will continue to love and support her.  I plan to give her about 200k. She can do whatever she wants with it. I don't plan to invite people to her wedding like my mom did. I think that whole type of behavior is antiquated and rooted in values I don't have.[/quote]
