[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s 2023- the bride and groom should be paying for their own wedding.[/quote]

College grads heading directly to grad school? How?[/quote]
Exactly. Maybe wait?[/quote]

The med student has 4 years then followed by a low-paid residency. Not realistic to ask them to wait that long. Business school means two years plus however-much-time of gainful employment before saving enough for a wedding.

I think it's reasonable for affluent parents on both sides to pay in this case.[/quote]

Why is it not realistic to ask them to wait? Lots of people wait until they can afford to be married, let alone afford an expensive wedding to start the marriage. [b]Why are these two any different form others?[/b]

These two are different because they are rich people.
Rich people don’t have to wait. They have family money.
Poor people take loans or work and save before they go to grad school. Rich people don’t have to wait. Mom and Dad pay for it.
Poor people wait until they have a down payment to buy a house. Rich people don’t have to wait. Mom and Dad provide the down payment.
Why do you want rich people to wait for the wedding? [/quote]
