[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the posters that say it depends on your social circle. My parents specifically had a wedding fund for me and my sister so that they could pay for the entire wedding. I was always told about this growing up so it wasn’t unexpected. [b]I was 26 when I got married and in law school so paying for my own wedding would not have been an option. [/quote][/b]

Objection!

Paying for your own wedding is always an option. Perhaps you would have just had to spend a lot less money on it...[/quote]

Or gotten married a year or two later than you did.  Yes, you could have paid for your wedding.[/quote]

This. That's nice that your parents paid for the weddings as weddings must have been important to them if they started wedding funds for their little kids. It really is sweet. But paying for your own wedding was absolutely an option. It's not big expensive wedding or remain single. The norm in my family and social circle growing up was big, elaborate weddings paid for by the bride's family, but others certainly diverged from this and were no less married in the end. Even in UC circles, elopement is accepted with or without a party later on.[/quote]
