Traditionally, the bride's parents have paid for the wedding, but this is much less adhered to nowadays. It is quite OK for both sets of parents to contribute if a mutual arrangement is reached, or for the bride and groom to foot or partially foot the bill.

Can the bride and groom pay for their own wedding?
* Yes, the bride and groom can pay for their own wedding and the parents probably will give a sigh of relief. In these modern times sometimes there is just a single parent or parents who have come upon rough times and can't afford to give their daughter the wedding they would like and it's wonderful the bride and groom would pay for their own wedding to take the burden off their parents. Big, medium or small weddings are all wonderful and each one can still be a magical event for the bride and groom as well as the guests.
