Well, I don’t think anyone would argue that.
I didn’t realize there were dinners celebrating the divorce.

Sorry, if you have to rely on your parents’ money to buy a home then you probably should wait.

I would bet there are a lot of folks in their 30s who have the income to pay a mortgage, insurance, HOA, maintenance, etc., but don't have the savings for a down payment.

Baptists don't have this problem.

My daughter is getting married in a few months and me and her mother are paying for entire reception.

Anecdotally it seems the 20-something weddings of today are way more alcohol centric than those when I was going to weddings. not that my friends and relatives were teetotalers but generally there might be some champagne and that was it. I think most of us stopped drinking when we reached 21.

Bride's family pays for all reception costs.
Unless the bride's family doesn't want alcohol at the reception - that's where I found myself when I got married.
I was poor as a church-house mouse, but I covered the alcohol. I respect my friends too much not to provide alcohol at a party.

Bride.
I have heard grooms family will contribute to increase the bar (either quality or quantity)

Bride's side. Groom's side pays for alcohol (and dinner) at the rehearsal dinner.

This is a simple question:
The bride pays for the reception and wedding - and all that entails (food, band, alcohol)
The groom pays for the rehearsal dinner, engagement ring and the honeymoon.
This is what is customary, at least in the south.
Of course people are free to do as they choose.

According to wedding websites after a quick search, we are incorrect and it's the grooms family.

That said we took all that money that would have been wasted in 3 hours and put a small down payment on our first house which a few years later we sold and put the appreciated gains on another house without PMI which eventually lead to a few more homes and after 25 years to having no mortgage which is 1000% better than some photos we might or might not ever look at!!
No one gives a frick about this personal narrative which has nothing to do with the op.

Well that's just why I said according to wedding websites after I googled. That was from Brides and The Knot. I thought it was strange and not what I'd heard. I would have lost that bet. My grandpa paid for alcohol.

This is the general standard.
When we got married, my wife's family was only going to pay for beer and wine. My family covered the costs to upgrade to premium open bar.

Since we did a small wedding we had plenty of money for food and liquor. But I also told the baws they could BYOB. We had moonshine and homemade beer in addition to the regular.
Normally I think the bride's family pays.
