[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 68343, member: 1963"] I was 21 and husband 23 when we married. husband's family wound up paying for the wedding. Not because we couldn't pay for what WE had planned (a simple outdoor ceremony at a county park), but because HIS parents wanted a full on fancy wedding. My parents chipped in on what they would've paid had it been the wedding husband and I wanted. As I recall, checks for flowers, their share of catering, etc., were paid directly to the vendors. There's nothing wrong with this. It didn't bode well for good feelings between the inlaws who already felt husband was marrying 'below his class' and there was a lot of wrangling involved. I do agree wholeheartedly with 'no cash' in a case like this. I was not pregnant and husband and I had been together for nearly five years by the time we married [/QUOTE]
