You may have imagined and conceived a gorgeous and dream wedding long time ago when you are still a teenager or even a little girl. That is ok and very normal for a child to imitate and role-playing the adult world. But as an adult facing the coming wedding, you know you can't just have passion and romance to prepare it, so to be practical and honest, you have to have money to backup and implement no matter how simple and thrifty it is.
So where is the money comes from? Traditionally it is all burdened by bride's family; while currently it is getting more and more common the bills being shared partly by groom's parents and/or by the newlyweds. Another trend is the new couples pay their own wedding costs, particularly if the wedding is not the first one. But traditions are long-standing: It is still not right for the bride's parents to ask the groom's family to pay any of the wedding costs. If, however, his family offers to pay a share, it is quite acceptable for the bride's parents to accept.
Why the wedding spends are traditionally covered by the bride's side other than the groom's side, which is the buyer of a marriage and should buy it accordingly anyway? An explanation maybe, as a one-time fee in the starting or pushing of the newlyweds' future common life, wedding spends is paid by the bride's parents to assist a settle-down; while the long-time maintaining fee of their future common life is certainly and mainly the responsibility of the groom's family although the wife contributes her endeavour too. So from the long view the spending division is fair and reasonable.
