What is the responsibility of the grooms parents? reception dinner


That’s it?

That seems unfair.

I'm assuming it goes back to the tradition of a dowry along with religious/cultural traditions for the celebration.

It's been morphed into an ugly business though where girls get to swipe a credit card on anything and everything they want. $8000 for a dress...one dress...worn one time.

$350 for a ceremony musician who looks at the song list the morning of the wedding.

It's baffled me since I started playing weddings 6 years ago.

Considering the woman is who gives a shite about any of that, her parents can pay because I sure as frick won't.

If it were up to me, the wedding would consist of sitting infront of a judge and taking the family out to a $$-$$$ restaurant after, and spending the remainder on a boat.

How does that sound to most women?

The reception isn't the groom's responsibility.

But the Rehearsal dinner, flowers, and invitations are the groom's responsibility(or his parents). He obviously doesn't have a say in selecting any of it, just pay for it.

Perfectly fair. The grooms aren't coming up with these bat shite crazy weddings.

When women start paying for their own drinks and the courts aren't completely stacked in their favor, we will visit if it's fair or not.
