Are your (and/or FH's) parents paying for the entire wedding, or do you have to pay anything out of pocket?

My and FH's families are paying for the majority of the wedding but we will prob need to add about $2-3k more out of pocket

(this number doesn't include the HM)

Just curious

Our parents are paying for the RH and the major vendors.

I put in half for the florist and 1/3 for the Entertainment. I also paid for my DOC, she's there for me so I wanted to pay for her.

FH and I have paid for all of the accessories and small things for the wedding and for the honeymoon.

My mom bought my gown, veil and petticoat.

Our parents helped us out with a retty big sum of money, but we will need to pay out at least $10k out of pocket.
