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>There’s nothing stopping them from getting married. We eloped. Cost to our parents: ZERO. </p>

<p>We attended many of our contemporary friends’/family’s lavish weddings. Nearly every couple is now divorced, and some are even on their third marriage. But we had a really fun time at their posh wedding bashes!</p>
