What Are The Groom`s Parents` Responsibilitie

If you are going by the old traditional wedding they are really not obligated to do anything. But in are modern time they could at least offer to help flip the bill. But if you are going by the old tradition Parents of the bride are to pay for all of the wedding expences. In theory it is because the parents of the groom are supose to take care of the couple for all the years to come if the son can`t take his part. Sorry!!!
But GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE MORE MODERN ETTIQUETTE IS THE GROOM`S FAMILY PAYS FOR THE REHERSAL DINNER AND ANY FLOWERS, SOME ALSO PAY FOR PHOTOGRAPHY. I BELIEVE THAT IS ALL. FEEL FREE TO ADD CORRECTIONS.

In most modern "etiquette" cases, the groom`s family pays for the rehearsal dinner, flowers, the bride`s bouquet, boutonnieres, mother`s corsages, marriage license, wedding officiant, and honeymoon. Of course, everything is opened to interpretation. As far as the old fashioned etiquette, well, that is a LONG time ago. The groom is no longer the only source of support in a family; therefore, his family should be somewhat responsible for the wedding expenses. As always, ladies, this is my opinion:)

Thank you ALL for your responses. I am having a difficult time with the groom`s family who feel that they are not responsibile for anything.

I appreciate your kindness.

Times are changing ! Now a days more often than not, the brides family, grooms family and the couple all contribute to the cause doing whatever each can.
But recently when my daughter got married I said I was glad it was over....one down and one to go as I also have a son. They laughed and said "Well when your son gets married all you have to do is keep your mouth shut and wear beige".
