[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think its very medieval for parents of the bride to pay for the wedding? Do you expect dowry as well?

Parents spend on education of their daughters, daughters have careers, they earn and contribute to the family finances. They aren't underage girls with no earnings, no need to spend retirement resources on parties to impress people who wouldn't care next day.[/quote]

I’m the poster who paid for three daughters’ weddings.  I didn’t use “retirement resources” to pay for them.  And all of my daughters are feminists.  You can be a feminist and still want a nice wedding.  [/quote]

but a feminist won't let mommy and daddy pay for her wants[/quote]

A feminist can absolutely accept a gift from their parents. Why is there this weird view here that people with means should let their children struggle or suffer otherwise they aren't adults? Didn't we struggle so that our children don't have to? Weirdos, the whole lot of ya.[/quote]

Anyone wanting a $100k wedding isn't struggling or in need of rescue.[/quote]

And parents who can and want to pay for that can and do. [/quote]
