Who Pays For What?

My daughter is 33, owns her own home and is living with her son and fiance and have done so for the last 2 years. They are now planning a wedding for 2006. Does this change the "who pays for what" question regarding my responsibility to my daughter?

No, it doesn`t change anything as far as financial responsibility. It still remains that you pay for the wedding only if you want to and only the amount you wish to. You have no responsibility to pay anything. Her age and other stats have nothing to do with it.

I believe that the tradition of who pays for a wedding has changed with the times. In most cases the parents can not afford to foot the bill and the bride and groom are doing it themselves. In my case my FH and myself are paying for the whole thing. If our parents want to help that is fine but we aren`t asking. If you are in a situation where you can help I think it would be a nice gesture if you did, but if you aren`t then don`t break the bank over it. Also has your daughter hinted that she expects you to pay for it. It`s probably something you should discuss with her as far as what you can do and contribute.
