The first question that comes up when getting married is, Who pays for what?
Traditionally the bride’s family pays for most of the wedding. In our modern society the bride and groom and each set of parents some time split the cost of the wedding and wedding events. The following are just some traditional wedding expense guild lines. As a Nashville Wedding Planner, we help you make these decisions easier so you can concentrate on the important things, enjoying your wedding!
