Today,
the groom and his family often offer to share some of the wedding expenses
that traditionally have been paid by the bride's family. This is a
significant change of custom, as the costs of traditional weddings have
become too prohibitive for many families to absorb. However, if the
groom's family does not offer to share expenses, the bride's family should
plan a wedding in accordance with their means.
The traditional division of expenses is listed below. In addition to the
change noted above, it should be kept in mind that there are numerous
exceptions and variations depending on religion, ethnic, or local custom.
Many items may be omitted without diminishing the ceremony in any way.
