Who pays for what

There is an interesting thread in the yahoogroup today - who pays for the wedding.

Most couples are now shouldering 100% of the expenses on their own - some still receive financial help from family members. R and I have decided that if ever there is someone who would offer sponsorship, we will accept it (but we wont expect anything prematurely). We believe in not counting the chicks before the eggs hatch.

You see, we have been discussing about the wedding since last year; thus have started to save up for IT. A friend of mine has offered to sponsor our wedding cake (although I gave her the wrong ballpark figure, I admit) but I still include the cost of the cake in the budget that we set. And because it is our money that we will be spending, it makes us more frugal in our wedding-related-money-spending-decisions.
