I thought the tradition is to 'part out' the wedding...
The candle sponsors pay for the candle... The coin sponsors pay for the coin... The viel sponsors pay for the viel... Other sponsors pay for the other parts. But maybe that is more for baptisms. An interesting idea, and it would be kind of neat to spread the bill around like that. |

Seems to me that the so-called "tradition" is that the bride's parents pay for NOTHING. At least that's the party line my bride's family seems to be feeding me. Now, in fairness, I don't know if that is because of actual tradition or because the bride's parents don't have two-pesos to rub together.

I told my wife that in LOTS of places in the US the Brides parents pay for the entire enchilada and the Groom just gives the minister or whoever a donation!Her reply was talaga! I missed giving the donation as I was hammered! Maybe that was why our marriage didn't work out! My wifes parents and my wife got back WAY more than their initial investment at the divorce! |

However in the Philippines ... the tradition seems to be that if the groom is a foreigner ... he pays for everything ... Dont feel like you're being singled out because you are an Aussie ... because ALL foreigners are expected to pay for everything ... regardless of what foreign country they come from ... at least that has been my observation over the past 11 years ... -- George |

I honestly can not answer that ...
I suspect that being a foreigner calls for a different set of rules in most circumstances ... but I'll leave it to one of the Filipina here to shed some light on what is the norm when the groom is a local guy ... Although I have observed that if nothing else, Filipinos are a practical people ... I imagine the costs are probably spread around to those who can afford it and are willing to pay ... I think the rules are not etched in stone ... -- George |
