Probably the most frequently asked ques-
tion concerning a wedding is "Who pays for
what ?"
The answer is simple—the bride and -tmr-
family.
However there ;ire sorne responsibilities
that fall to the bridegroom', side. They are:
The engagement ring—as handsome as
he can afford.
A wedding -present to the bride.
A bachelor dinner, if he gives one, how-
ever the custom seems to he going out of
style.
The bride's bouquet and the flowers for
the men of the wedding party including
the boutennieres for his father and him-
self.
The marriage license.
Gifts for the best man and ushers and
the hotel expenses of those who do not
stay with neighbors or friends.
Even if the clothes are rented he
should give the men of the party their
ties;collars 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 exposes are the bride and her
family's 'responsibilities.
And right here, let us say to the bride that
she should not/demand a wedding that is "too
expensive'—more than ,her parents can af-
ford. A small ve(Iding can be as charming as
a large on..
In the same vein, it is equally thoughtless
to expect "expensive" type showers. Think of
the poor bridesmaid, for example. She has to
hiiy her outfit. have her hair done, go to all
the showers, chip in on a wedding present . .
it mounts up.
And she hardly has enough left to get mar-
ried herself.
Another detail that the bride should be con-
siderate about is the choice of the gown for
her attendants. Consult the girls and make
sure that the sty.e and color is becoming to
all of them. Also be kind concerning the price
tag unless you know that your friends have
very deep purses..
The edit -of -town girl attendants as well as
the ln,v attendants are responsible for their
own transportation but the bridal couple is
responsible for their lodgings if they (10 not
stay with relatives or friends.
The bride should also be reminded that if
hers is to be a formal wedding that she has to
give people time to get things done.

visit the clergyman or whoever is to per-

Place. This al. , applies to shopping for the ,
bridal gown and the dresses of the brides-
maids.
And speaking of date—if you are planning'
a formal wedding, start planning three.
