Also, what happened to the tradition of the bride's family paying for the wedding? Doesn't that happen anymore? My wife and I didn't pay for our wedding. Her parents did. My parents helped out some. That's always been the norm where I'm from.
Isn't that a bit if a double standard? You want a say in the wedding, but you want HER family to pay for it?

Personally, I think it is a joint decision, and I would love the tradition of us helping all our kids (no gender discrimination here).
