I think the bride and groom should both have a say in planning the wedding no matter who is paying for it. It is, after all, their wedding.
That said, neither of us had final say on how things were done because we weren't the ones paying. We got overruled on a number of decisions by her parents.
I didn't say I wanted her parents to pay for it. I just said that traditionally, that's how it has always been done. When we were fighting a few battles in the planning process, my wife and I considered cancelling the whole thing and doing it on our own, but things worked out eventually.
