Who paid for your wedding?
I'm finding that it is such a toss up in our group of friends. About half the people I know pay for their own, and then it's split on Brides's parents and equal split between Bride and Groom's parents.
So, I'm being nosey. Who paid for your wedding?
My parents paid for ours, DH's parents paid for our honeymoon and the rehersal dinner. It was pretty traditional in that sense.

Re: Who paid for your wedding?
DH's parents paid for about 75% and my parents paid the other 25%... DH and I paid for our own honeymoon and incidental wedding things.
My mom and dad (divorced) both gave us a small amount. Then we paid for everything else ourselves.
FIL and MIL paid for rehersal dinner.
Cam 6.6.10 - Autism, Global Developmental Delay, Mixed Receptive/Expressive Communication Disorder
We paid for our wedding -- photos, reception, decorations, etc.
His mom paid for the rehearsal dinner. My parents paid for my dress.
My Dad paid for a lot of it, Mom bought my dress and I paid for the rest.
My husbands family paid for the rehersal dinner.
We paid though both of our parents offered. We figured we were nearly 30, hadnt used our parents money in years and had good jobs.
My parents insisted upon paying for my dress so I did splurge a bit more there.
I am also a party planner so I pulled a bazillion favors owed and we did it for a reasonable amount.
My Parents paid for the wedding and dress - but I am not a person with expensive taste. Dress was 600 I think. Flowers, cake and DJ were included in the package from the Country Club.
ILs paid for the Rehearsal dinner and they gave us the honeymoon as a gift. we stayed in a luxury cabin in the mountains.
DH and I paid for a lot of incidentals that we bought along the way. Favors, Veil, Headpiece, table stuff, and lots of other things.
My parents paid for the wedding, his parents paid for the rehearsal dinner and my hubby paid for and planned the honeymoon. I had just turned 21 and he was 20.
ETA: I forgot to mention that I paid for the photogropher and wedding album.
My parents took the brunt of cost of the wedding. They had an account that they started putting in when I was in high school.
His parents paid for some of the alcohol at the reception, rehearsal, and few other random things that they wanted that I didn't care one or another about (like some favors and such). They also threw a party the weekend before that was pretty informal but had food and such.
We paid for the honeymoon. And it was wonderful
