Re: Question -Who is paying for the wedding & reception?

My parents are pretty much paying for the whole thing... my dad sort of took a traditional approach and says that he feels that it is 'his responsibility' and something that he really wants to do. My fiance's parents will probably put in for something or another... traditionally, the brides parents pay for the wedding, and the groom's parents pay for the rehearsal dinner, so that's how it's looking, although they are offering to do a little more, so we'll see how that works out. We're still early in our planning process... maybe they'll decide there's one important thing they want to cover or something like that.

My fiance and I plan on buying each other our wedding rings, but as of now, that's it. To be honest, we really have no money (he's an NYPD cop, and I'm currently a full time student with a crappy part-time income), and we would have to take out a loan or something to cover wedding expenses if we wanted to pay ourselves, and I just think that's silly, especially since my parents want to pay, and I'd rather save the money (and the loan) for a house.

Re: Question -Who is paying for the wedding & reception?

My parents sat us down last week and told us that they would be honored to pay for the hall. FH and I figured it out, and that's about 50% of the wedding! It's a huge weight off our shoulders.

FILs are paying for the church, because FMIL is making us marry in it.

We have everything else. (Still going to be about $15-20K, including HM.)

Re: Question -Who is paying for the wedding & reception?

His grandmother is paying for the church, we are paying for the DJ, his mom's boyfriend is paying for favors, his mom is paying for the rehearsal dinner and is helping my parents pay for the photographer. Then my parents are paying for everything else. We still have to ask his dad.
