The bride's family
historically was responsible for most
of the the expenses for the wedding
of their daughter. As times have changed,
the costs are now generally shared by
both families.
Today many couples are marrying later
in life, and with higher incomes some
brides and grooms today insist on paying
themselves. Weddings can be costly and
meeting to discuss what costs will be
shared is recommended in order to prevent
financial hardship and determine the
budget for the wedding.
Some families will not break with old
tradition and we have listed some of
the expenses that might be incurred
for a typical wedding. |
