Well in the traditional sense, the brides parents pay for the bulk of the wedding. Who the hell told you the groom pays for it? My parents are planning on paying for the bulk of mine and my sister. Lucky for the grooms! I'll finish reading and probably add more later.

Ok I've read the rest of the thread, is it me or maybe my parents are extremely old fashioned, but they have always planned on themselves to pay for a wedding. I don't understand where this new idea of the groom pays for it came from. Maybe I skipped class the day that happened? I've also been thinking, you know how people say they want nice, small, quiet weddings, well that's all well and good...but what if there are tons of friends between the bride and the groom? To be honest, I want a nice wedding. I want it to take place outside in nature with a good group of people. I have no problem with my parents paying for it, since they've promised that since I was a little girl.
And to point out, I'm not putting down small, less expensive weddings but I don't see the harm is having a mid to large size one either.
Oh and how many of you ladies cried at your weddings at the alter? Just curious...
