Just curious, are you paying for your own wedding, or is family helping you? My FH's family really has no money to help with. My dad offered that he could either pay for the wedding or give us our gift after the wedding. We opted to pay for the wedding ourselves since we are in a positon that we are able to and we'd like to get money after the wedding as gifts that we could put down on a house. What's everyone else doing?
We also thought it would be easier because my dad would probably want to to give approval on everything because he is like that lol...

Re: Paying for the wedding...
we are basically paying for it ourselves. My parents will help when they can. like they are helping with the next payment for the photographer. buts FHs parents are helping. I am sure if we asked they would help, but i dont think FH would even want to ask.

We have to pay for the florist, limo and photographer. My parents are paying for everything else except the RD, that will be FH's parents most likely.

We are paying for everything ourselves. This is my 2nd marriage and I cant expect my parents to help me with this one. I am sure they will offer something eventually but we want to do this ourselves.

I think we are on our own for 99% of the payments with a little help here or there.

Re: Paying for the wedding...
my mom and step dad are giving us a little bit (basically enough to cover the photographer) - they still have 2 more kids that need to get married. and my mom is buying my dress. FH's parents aren't giving us anything. so we are paying for the majority of it ourselves
