Who Pays For What at Weddings
Traditionally most of the wedding expenses would be taken care of the bride’s father, as brides got married whilst they were still very young and not financially independent. The groom’s father also contributes for the dinner expenses, parents meeting, marriage license expenses and gifts for the newlyweds. But present day wedding expenses are shared by the bride and groom with their lifestyle changes and financial independence.
Saving Money on Your wedding
