I dunno why people think it's their parents responsibility too pay for their weddings. When it was the tradition, hundreds of years ago, for the brides parents to foot the bill, most ceremonies were civil & small, not lavish productions. That was for the elite.
When I got married we expected to pay for it ourselves. My parents were unable to help out financially, and I was okay with that. I would have died of guilt if my parents would have had to get financing or dip into retirement funds to pay for a party for me.
