Probably the most freciuently asked ques-
tion concerning a weddings is "Who pays for
what ""
The answer is simple—the bride and h.'r
family.
However there• etre •e►tnc rea;►►nsibiliti�•,
that° full, to the bridegroom's- side. They are:
The engagement ring—as hands*►roe as
he can afford.
A wedding present to the bride,d
A haehelor dinner, if he gives one, h►m -
ever the custom sec m• to he going out of
t• le. -
The bride's bouquet incl the flak cit•` for
the men of the wedding party including
the boutennieres for his father and irn-
self.
The marriage license.
Gifts for the best n►an and ushers and
the 'hotel expenses of those who do not
stay u:ith neighbors6or friends.
Even if the clothes are rented he
should give the men of the party their
ties, collar.: and gloves.
The wedding ring. .
The clergyman's donation.
And once the couple starts on their
wedding trip. all the expenses are his.
All other expenses are the bride and her
family's responsibilities.
And right here. let us say to 1 hr bride that
she should not demand a wedding, that is "too
expensive"—more than her parents can af-
ford. A small wedding can he as charming as
a large one.
In the same vein, it is equally thoughtless
to expect ",expensive- type showers, Think of
the poor bridesmaid. for example. She has to
boy her uut.fit. have her hair done, go to all
the shote ers. chip' in on .s wedding present ..
