<p>Re: “Full-pay, 62k+.”</p>
<p>The price tag for us was not that high (but still maybe close to 50-55k?) because it was many years ago. We were full-pay for two years. I think our 529 account was wiped out in the first two years.</p>
<p>Do not intend to turn this into another wedding thread but this is also about parents’ financial responsibility or sacrifice for their child: How much responsibility do parents have for helping pay for S/D’s marriage when the young couple have not earned much money yet?</p>
<p>Ideally, they should earn and be responsible for a part of expenses of their marriage. But many young people today could spend a very long time before they establish their career. Under some scenario, it is quite possible that they have not made much (or even any) money at the time they are ready for marriage.</p>
