Probably` the most frequently asked ques-
'pnconcerning a wedding is "Who pays for
!11he answer is simple—the bride and her
mily.
However there are some responsibilities
at fall to the ,bridegroom's 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 be going out, (►f

The bride's bouquet and the flowers for
the men of the wedding party including
the bouten►)ieres for his father and him-
self.
The marriage license.
Gifts for t he best man and ushers and
the hotel expenses of those who de) not

ties, collar:, and gloves..
The wedding ring.

erg"deep purses'.
The mat -of -town girl attendants .as wail as
e boy -attendants are responsible for their

'spnnsible for their lodgings if they do not

The bride should also be reminded that if
