Who's paying for their own wedding?

I think just to show a few ladies who think it's their parents responsibility to pay exactly how many of us are paying, everyone who is paying for their own wedding should comment here.

ETA: Because I forgot that people on the internet take offense to things that are not about them. This site is a guilty pleasure of mine. Yesterday I had the most stressful wedding planning day to date. I get online and the first post I read is titled "who pays". While reading through the comments, I come across a girl who is upset that her father refuses to pay even though he is financially able. She sounded like an entitled brat. She then commented that she really doubted the majority of us were paying on our own. This "rubbed me the wrong way" I started this post to prove a point that the majority of us are in fact paying on our own. I am in no way trying to shame those fortunate enough to have family help. Nor do I think I am better because I don't.

    My parents are paying for our wedding, my FH and I are paying for the RD and rings. Honeymoon will be free flights (FH is an airline pilot) to my grandma's time share (her wedding gift to us) and we will obviously pay for food, entertainment, etc during the trip. I did not ask for any of this help, it was offered.

    My FH and I are blessed to have help financially for the wedding. We are paying for things as well and we will not be in debt afterwards.

    We are paying for ours; however, my father is helping me out with my fiancé visa (as my FH is English and we are getting married in the UK)(and then I plan on staying there with him).

    We are! FIL is paying for the rehearsal dinner, but that's because he wanted a rehearsal dinner and we told him he can have it if he plans and pays for it himself. We were not interested otherwise since our families already know each other.

    @OP I think it's against community guidelines to link to another thread. Or maybe it's not since your not telling people to go bash that thread. Hmm.

    We are! My parents have generous offered to pay for the flowers and DJ, FIL's have not offered. We went into it expecting to pay 100%. We are adults after-all!
