Its most definitely changed. Do what's best. I wouldn't rely on anyone as a grown adult.

Problem is back in the day young people respected parents paying for a wedding. They didn't try to out do their feiends on social media and try to break the bank on their parents.
My DIL made her father drop 40k on her wedding. Sure we paid for the rehearsal dinner and and honeymoon accommodations. But she needed a foot in her arse for making her father drop that kind of money.

We paid for most of ours. My grandfather paid for the food and wine/liquor and let us use his ranch as our venue.

My wife and I paid for the vast majority of our wedding. We had the means, although we did have to sacrifice a lot, and her parents are putting three kids through HS/college. Frankly, weddings are so expensive nowadays that I can't blame anyone for putting priorities elsewhere.
It was, however, irritating when my MIL started complaining about champagne over prosecco (I'm not making this up).

You're a reverse morning person. Happy in the AM and grumpy in the afternoon.

Oh so you’re the storm the beach of Destin wedding! Get dad to drop 300k on a wedding in college debt when you could have a small, cheap ceremony and buy a house.
