Just wondering, is everyone having their parents pay for the wedding, your paying for it yourself, or helping out with the cost? We are paying for flowers, pictures, and pastor..

    I'm very lucky to have my parents offer to pay for our wedding. We are having to pay very little, which I'm grateful for.

    We're trying to pay for it by ourselves. I'm saving mileage checks because I want us to pay for the majority of it. I'm sure our parents will help out a little but I want it to be our responsibility.

    My dad is sending us money from his extra pay while being deployed to pay for the reception, my mom paid for my dress and accessories, and we are paying for all the rest.  It ended up being a pretty even three way split.  FIs parents are hosting the RD and FMIL insisted on paying for the FBIL's tux (we are paying for our attendants' dresses and tuxes).

    Besides a little thing here or there,  my FI and I are more than likely paying for the entire wedding ourselves. Wish us luck!

    FI and I are paying for a large portion of it ourselves. My parents are going to help some, and we don't even expect his parents to show up (really long story). I have a feeling my grandparents and great-grandma will offer some help, but if not its me and FI.

    My parents are helping. In fact they are paying for nearly everything. I work two jobs, and with one of my jobs, I am saving that entire paycheck to go to wedding stuff. I bought my dress, my STDS, veil, headpiece, etc. I'm hoping I can just keep saving and be able to write my parents a check when it's all said and done. His mom is going to handle the rehersal dinner...but she's been really struggling and can't help otherwise, which is fine.FI will have just finished his last semester of school, so we're not making enough for him to help either.
