Reply To: chassunah, who pays for what?

I’m getting married soon iyh, and in our circles it is accepted to do 50/50 including flop,i very much want a fancy wedding but i am not putting my parents into debt because of that.I’ll survive without video and a 5 man band ! Yes im helping out my parents by giving half of my savings to them but i dont feel in the least bit entitled to a wedding more then they can afford, after all the biggest chunk is from their pockets…
