Money matters are always tricky. When we were first engaged, my FI’s family thought my family might WANT to pay for our wedding on their own. I felt that was a little weird to hear because to me, we were in the age where the mentality was more like: let’s split the cost. That is, unless you can pay for your wedding, or one family is much better off, so the balance might naturally be tipped. Neither of these is our situation. As it turns out, both sides are contributing to make our wedding happen, though I will say my family taking on more expenses, and we are trying to save up to help as well.

Our balance is fine and all are happy, but I am still curious: Did your FI’s family make a contribution or is the tradition of the bride’s family paying still alive?
