Modern or Traditional: Paying for the Wedding

Traditional - my parents are paying the bulk of the cost, with FH's parents contributing towards the things the groom's family traditionally pay for. This isn't something either of us have expected, or asked for, rather it's something our parents want to do. My parents are very traditional, and they did the same for my twin sister last year. FH and I are both incredibly grateful to our parents, because their generosity means we can put more money into improving the home we are buying together.

Modern. We are paying a lot of it ourselves but both of our families have been super generous a and contributed to certain aspects of the wedding.

Modern. We have an interesting financial rule. If we can't afford it in cash we don't buy it. It means we are able to save money well and don't want help paying for things. Being married on our terms was also important.

Split! both of our parents (mine and FH's) have given us $ and my grandma (only living grandparent, and I'm first grandchild to get married) gave us some $ as well. the rest we will be paying for and hopefully not having to take a loan out for the rest....

Mostly modern. We went in thinking we would be paying for everything ourselves but when I've shown my mom things we've decided on and she really likes them she keeps saying "Oh can I get that for you?" and I'm not going to say no. Especially since we are living off student loans and my very low salary (Fiancee is still in Vet Med School and I work for a non-profit which does not pay well).

His parents are giving us a very generous gift that will cover the wedding and honeymoon, and if we budget correctly (which we will because I insist lol) some extra for a down payment on a house. We are extremely lucky. My parents told me a few years ago they will pay for my dress. I’d love to be able to pay for it ourselves but FH will be unable to work as he’s starting a very intense PA program and I’ll likely have to switch to part time employment in order to do an internship for school. If it was left up to us to pay we’d probably have a court house deal with a very small celebration somewhere.

Modern both families are wedding party are helping because they want to.

Both. We are responsible for deposits. My mom is taking care of the majority.

Traditional. It was never asked of them. My parents have just taken over the cost. I am forever gracious that they want to give us our dream wedding.

Fh and myself are paying

Boy do I wish we were able to have others pay for it or help in anyway but its all just me and him. My mom and step dad did up the deposit on our reception tho. but everything else has been us

Modern. I'd gladly accept help, but that's just not happening. We got a little bit from FH mother, but not enough to pay for much except for maybe DIY flowers. Any and all help is appreciated though!

Modern, my fiancé and I are paying for most of it, but my parents are covering their guests, my dress and accessories, and the flowers, and from what I believe his parents are covering their guests as well.
