[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, or give a set amount.  If they have been living together for years, they are adults and should pay for their own.[/quote]

They clearly aren't adults if they are still living with mommy and daddy. You offer to contribute what you would like OP[b]. It should have nothing to do with the fact that you are thrilled with the engagement or not.[/b] Some people pay hundreds of thousands of dollars, some people kick in $5000. Do what feels right to you. [/quote]

Excuse you. Yes, it should. OP you have a right to simply give a wedding gift and contribute nothing. They are adults and nobody is expected to pay for their kid's wedding. If my kids marry people where we think it's not a healthy relationship we will not contribute anything. (We have a boy and a girl). If we think it is a good relationship that is healthy we may offer to pay for the honeymoon for both regardless of gender. I am not a fan of weddings. I think people focus too much time on the party and impressing others and not enough time on making sure what they have will last. We would be thrilled if our kids didn't have weddings, but simply threw a small party once married or not. [/quote]
