destination weddings suck.
so i have to take some of my annual leave so you guys can spend the whole day half-ignoring every acquaintance you've ever made?
i hope the split is acrimonious and involves emotionally vulnerable children.
Parents help, or pay for the whole thing if they're wealthy. Rest is on the bride and groom.Cybargs wrote:

In Taiwan theres two wedding ceremonies, one for groom side of family and one for bride and each pay respective costs.

We're lucky her dad is on wall street or we'd still be paying it off
Nope. He made most of his money in the 80s. He's not poor by any means but he's also not coptering to the Hamptons every weekend. Paying for most of the wedding is the only financial assistance he's offered or we've asked for. His money, his life, shrug.Cybargs wrote:

The custom is the bride's family pays for the wedding, the groom's family pays for the reception.SuperJail Warden wrote:
There is really no custom of who pays. Often, the woman's parents cover a good share of the cost. I guess that replaced the time treasured act of offering a dowry along with a bride.
The whole family has to share one wedding/reception.

I honestly hope he spends every penny and dies a pauper. At least then he'll have enjoyed it instead of leaving it to a bunch of squabbling offspring who don't really need it but will tight tooth and nail for every cent. I'm not looking forward to that day.Cybargs wrote:

bit of a weird angle to take to try and attack my parents when the whole uzi-deal is i'm supposed to be a silver-spooned blue blood.
ironically you DO wish your deadbeat dad had done that for you. you've expressed as much disappointment here before. please stop taking out your rabid class anxieties on us natural nobles.
