As an eventual bride, I hope that my/his parents will say "Here is X amount we are comfortable giving you for the wedding" and we will foot the rest of the bill. My philosophy is, if I'm not willing to pay for it, then do I really want it that badly?

For comparison I've had 2 cousins get married, one in 2007 and one this past summer, and neither of them (both females) put forward a penny for the wedding, and the two sets of parents covered the bill. Couples paid for their own honeymoons, but for 20-25,000 dollar weddings, I thought that was a bit much (personally).
