Who pays for daughters wedding when parents are divorced and remarried?
My daughter is getting married in August, her father and I have been divorced for 16 yrs. but we are still friends. I told my daughter that I would match anything that she was able to save. In this case it ended up being 1500.00. Her father gave her 500.00, which was all that he could afford to give to her. Her budget is 3500.00 and the planning is coming along beautifully. I agree with a lot of the posters that say its not the parents responsibility to pay for their child’s wedding, however, I offered her what I could in a way that made her feel more responsible and adult. It has also gone a long way in keeping her perspective of what is important and not spending money frivolously.
