[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If bride's parents can't afford to pay for the type of wedding that the couple wants, shouldn't the grooms family step up and contribute? What are the rules now for paying for a wedding?[/quote]

Grooms family pays for rehearsal dinner and out of town guest accommodations. [/quote]

If the bride's family cannot afford the kind of wedding that the couple wants, then the couple should have a different kind of wedding unless they pay for it themselves.

My brother married a woman who has sort of delusional fantasies about being southern aristocracy even though her father drives a school bus.  She wanted an elaborate wedding at a southern plantation and guilted my parents into 'helping to pay for it'.  Since then, my parents have also been guilted into paying for private schools they cannot afford for their kids, a house they cannot afford, cars they cannot afford, travel they cannot afford.  Meanwhile my parents are living in a house that probably should be condemned.

If the bride is a parasite, then this needs to be reined in sooner rather than later.  Just say no folks.  Really how hard is that?[/quote]
