[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got married three years ago. My parents gave $5K as a gift - like delivered the day before the wedding (so that money didn’t actually help pay for the wedding).

My parents also gave my brother $5K when he got married 18 years ago. He’s now divorced and engaged again. No idea what the rate is for second marriages.

Anyway, my parents specifically said they’d pay for the ring (!) and then they offered to pay for the ceremony only. We declined both offers because we wanted to pick out what we wanted (and didn’t want to hear “gee, I can’t believe this costs so much, so I went on google and ordered something from amazon instead).

Team = set amount[/quote]

Lollllll "pay for ceremony only". My ceremony was free. We're religious and it was in our church. Unless the ceremony also means the church flowers, wedding dress and organ too?

My in laws paid for rehearsal dinner only. We didn't know what that meant so we did what we're could afford. I spend days making pulled pork butt and sides. Total cost was $100. That's all my inlaws gave us. Didn't even pay for their plates at my wedding. [/quote]

Catholic churches give couples a "suggested donation." And it's not cheap, depending on the church. [/quote]
