When Groom`s Parents Are Paying For Wedding
When the groom`s parents are paying for the wedding how should the invitations read?

Tradition typically has been that whomever is hosting the event (paying for it) is mentioned in the invitation in a manner similiar to:
Mr. And Mrs. Joesph Black request
The honour of your presence at the marriage
Of their son
Donald Black to Cynthia Wilson
On..... Blah blah blah blah blah
However, if the B&G and hosting parents do not like this way - they can alter it to fit their needs.
