    E.- My FI and I and my parents...But, Mostly my parents, I have to give them credit.  However, we still have a small budget, just not as small as if it was just FI and I.

    We did.  His parents insisted on paying for the rehearsal, so they paid for that.   My mom and dad paid for my dress.  I think it's really cool- my dad died when I was 3.  My mom just started to get his pension about a year before the wedding.  She saved his checks so that they could by my dress together.  I thought it was really neat to have 'him' buy my dress. Everything else was DH and me.

    It's a mixture. FI and I are the first children to get married out of our sets of siblings, so there is a lot of excitement. My parents are kicking in a hefty portion of "Take this moeny, do what you need" while FI parent's (who are divorced) seem to be picking specific things to pay for (while I appreciate the help, sadly, it's kind of a compitition with them). FI and I are saving up as we go along to round everything out and fill in any gaps.

    A mix of both for us. Me and the FI are paying for a good majority, my younger sister is paying for our cake and FI parents are doing the rehearsal dinner and helping out as well. My mom said she would pay for my dress but unfortunately I am not counting on that lol

    E. which is awesome, but the majority is FI and myself. My mom and dad paid for part of my dress, some of the flowers, and my mom is very creative so she's helping a ton with all of my wild ideas which is a life saver. FI's parents are paying for the rehearsal dinner and the photographer per their request (they are wonderful!). I also hear they are saving up a "money basket" for us to help with other things. We are taking on most of the financial aspect, but both sets of parents are chipping in and have been so helpful in other aspects.

    E.)  H and I paid a little more than 50%, and the two sets of parents kicked in a little less than 25% each.

    My amazing daddy is paying for everything for the wedding... FI parents are paying for the rehearsal dinner and giving us 1000 towards the honeymoon... my mom passed away afew years ago and the money that was left to me was used to buy both my wedding gowns, tiara, two veils, shoes and etc she always said she would buy it for me when I got married so I wanted to make sure she did. FI and I will pay for the bridal party gifts and we are paying the rest of the honeymoon =)

    Mostly A... we're paying for the reception, but my parents offered to pick up the cost of a DJ.  My parents also gave us money that we're using for our destination wedding.DF's parents gave us cash that we put towards our house downpayment, and they will pay for our "rehearsal' dinner (we aren't really having a rehearsal since it's only us and our parents).

    E. A mixture of A, B, and CIts mostly us, but both sets of parents have tried to help out with what they could. I would say its 80% us, 20% them.

    A.  We are paying for everything, except the RD, which FI's parents are picking up.  My parents did get a few misc. items in the beginning (my dress, veil, tiara) but other than that, FI and I are picking up the bill.

    Guess I'm a pretty lucky girl...my parents are paying for everything.  If they weren't I would be having one, considering i'm unemployed fresh out of UK! :)
