We paid for the majority of our own wedding. And rightly so, despite my father-in-law offering to stump up the whole amount. We’d lived together for 4-5 years before the big day so weren’t in need of anything. My Mam and Dad paid for the wedding cars and transport from the church to the venue for all in attendance and my in-laws paid for the wedding dress and groomsmen suits. Both voluntarily, but both gratefully received. When we were planning ours, the thing that got me was that the word ‘wedding’ seemed to attract a 30% (at least) premium on whatever it was we were ordering. Robbing, money-grabbing sanctioning sanctions.
My daughter is only 10. When the time comes I’d hope the money we’re saving for her was used for uni and perhaps a deposit on a house rather than a party for all her friends and family.
