Hi guyss! Me and my fiancé just made 3 weeks engaged and we know we have a lot of planning ahead of us but one bump we have encountered already is the question who pays for the wedding?. My family is very traditional and believes my fiancé should pay in full for the wedding. His family believes it should be the brides family that pays and my fiancé should pay for my wedding dress and also be in charge of buying our future home. My fiancé and I have completely different ideas from our families we both want to work together and pay it ourselves of course we’re keeping the dress and other details traditional but we honestly want to do our dream wedding together and that includes expenses, do you guys agree or disagree with us ; with our families ? Need advice or a little reassurance please lol

I feel nowadays it’s different. It used to be the brides responsibility for most of the wedding but I find that both parties are donating what they feel they can afford and comfortable with.

Traditionally, the bride's parents pay for the wedding. So being "very traditional" would mean the father of the bride would foot the entire wedding bill. I think what's more common in today's world is whoever can afford it and offers to pay.
