Undisputed King of FOMO
I got married 4 years ago
Me and my wife paid about 60% of the total costs - essentially all the food, drink and rental costs of the venue
Her family 25% (dress, bridesmaids dresses, flowers, favors and invites - as they were sent from them)
My family about 15% (cake, photographer, musicians)
We would have waited another year or so and saved longer if we needed to, didn't ask for the help but the parents insisted. I see it as the couples thing to pay in 2022. My decision to drop on one knee shouldn't cost my FIL 25k
We payed for our own honeymoon too - but guests gave cash to help - think we had around 3k total in gifts - Honeymoon was about 7k?
