There used to be
fairly hard-and-fast rules about who paid for what. Today, however,
couples divide up expenses in a way that is agreeable to everyone. In
the traditional scheme of things, the groom's family is responsible
for hosting the rehearsal dinner and for buying a gift for you and
your bride.
The Groom is Responsible for the
following costs:
-
The bride's engagement
and wedding rings.
-
Your awn tuxedo rental.
-
Wedding gift to the
bride.
-
Your awn necessary
medical tests.
-
The marriage license.
-
The boutonnieres for all
the men.
-
Gifts for the men in
your wedding party.
-
Accommodations for
out-of-town attendants.
-
The officiant's fee or
honorarium.
-
The honeymoon.
