[quote=Anonymous]Under American tradition the groom's family only pays for the rehearsal dinner, so it is not surprising that they do not want to or feel they need to contribute. In fact, unless they chose to volunteer to assist, it was probably rude/less than proper etiquette for you to raise the issue. That being said, there is no reason you need to pay for the wedding either. The tradition of wife's family paying for the wedding comes from the time when a family paid for her dowry because they were lucky to find someone to take care of her for life, even though that often meant functional servitude. Contribute to your daughter's wedding only because you love her and want to help her with her special day and then only in the manner which you can reasonably afford without undue financial burden to yourself.
