Who is paying for your wedding?

Your parents, the groom's parents or you and the groom? (or some combo). I'm just wondering if it is still most common for the bride's parents to pay for the wedding or what?

Thanks

My parents are incurring 95% of the cost as well as giving us our honeymoon as a gift. I have an old fashioned family, they wouldn't have it any other way.

I am aware of how blessed we are! His family would have stepped in if my parents were not able to do this.

We paid for everything ourselves, even our engagement party. It was so hard, but we were so proud that we pulled it off.

My FMIL told us to worry about the deposits for everything and she'll take care of the rest.

My mom helped purchase the materials to make the centerpieces and I think she is buying my dress.

We paid for it ourselves. My mom gaves a generous gift that we put toward the HM and FHs parents paid for the RD. Other than, it was all us.
