[quote=Anonymous]Didn't even cross my mind, honestly. Now that I think about it, I decided I will not pay for anything wedding related. If she (they) need money to mount the house, I will happily help with money to buy furniture, silverware, etc. If I have money, I will also help with a down payment to the house.

I won't help with the wedding party itself because I was not raised in this culture - my parents were not married (just had a common law union - with the same rights of married people), and my own wedding was very simple - I had one of those officials come to my home, and it was just my husband, me and my MIL. Then we served cake (from Giant), Champagne and went to have dinner (along with some other relatives) at 429 (sp?), a fancy restaurant in Falls Church.

I also didn't have a prom or college graduation party or even a ceremony - I just walked in to get my diploma later. I never cared about these kind of stuff, and if my daughter turns out to care, she can pay for her own wedding party herself. I think it is a waste of money.[/quote]
