    You are such a good person.It's good to sit with them and ask to see what they like.

    Today - I think it's more what you're willing or offering to pay for.

    If you're looking what is "traditionally" paid by the groom's family, here is the list I found: the marriage license, officiant's fee, corsages, boutonnieres, the bride's bouquet, groomsmen gifts, liquor, and the reception DJ or band. Remaining items are typically paid for by the Bride's family.
