I'm going to be the father of the bride for a wedding coming up in six or seven months. My little girl's getting hitched. I'm happy. The missus and I can afford to foot a hefty wedding bill. I'm wondering what normally happens.
To those who are married or have experience with this, how much does a wedding cost these days? How much do parents normally put toward a wedding? (I don't buy this bride's-family-pays thing and I won't change my mind when it's my son's turn.) Do the families normally pay for certain things, like the bride's family pays for the dress and the groom's family pays for the tux? What do you do when one side car afford to contributea lot and the other side cannot? What's fair?
I have lots of questions but I'll start with those and I look forward to seeing what you experts want to contribute.
