My wife and I paid for everything ourselves..... but then we have good jobs and could afford it.... plus we were older.
Frankly, I think there should be an age and time limit to when a parent no longer has the responsibility to pay for their child's wedding.... and why in the world should the parent have that responsibility anyway?
If the child has left the parental home a number of years ago and they have a good job.... I say they should foot the costs themselves. This isn't 1800's anymore where the daughter goes straight from the parental home into her husband-to-be's home and she doesn't earn a living either.
