Wedding Tips ~ Who Pays For What?

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.
