Obviously n/a if you're not having kids.
DH and I are starting to set up financial accounts for our kids college and such. So we talked about whether we'd pay for their weddings. If an emergency came along where we needed to swipe money from one of the "kid accounts", the wedding would obviously be the first to go (versus college). We asked ourselves the following questions and came up with the following answers:
Would we contribute? Yes, probably.
How much? Depends. Probably close to $50-60K/each (like, in 2040 terms)
Would we do traditional "bride's parents" or "groom's parents" things? No.
Will we attach strings? Probably. We'll probably have certain people we want invited. And we'll want them to properly host (chairs, etc.)
So what about y'all?
