[quote=Anonymous]We have four daughters and no sons.  Three of our daughters have gotten married.  We paid for the entire affair each time, with no expectation or request that the couple or the groom's parents pay anything.  When the groom's parents offered, as each did to varying degrees, we accepted whatever help they offered and that was that.  And we didn't judge or keep score.

We also didn't give our daughter's a "budget."  They each told us what kind of wedding they had in mind, and we worked with them to make that kind of wedding happen.  They all wanted something completely different from each other.

We also didn't hold our daughter's hostage on things like the guest list just because we were paying and they weren't.  They took the lead on the list, and if cost kept people off, we cut from our wish list -- not from theirs.

We also helped all three with down payments.

There are certain things that you just DO for your daughters.  Giving them the wedding they want is one of them.  [/quote]
