Re: If the Brides parents are paying for the wedding..........Whats the deal with the limos???

I believe they do pay for transportation...I found this article online:

Traditionally, the wedding day is hosted by your parents and paid for by your father. Today, the etiquette of old is far less rigid and only about 30% of weddings are paid for by your parents. More and more couples are opting to pay for their own wedding since they are then free to choose exactly what they want without the worry of putting their parents under financial strain. Recent research has shown that about 50% of weddings are now paid for by the bride and groom and about 15% are paid for by everyone contributing in varying degrees. However, many brides' fathers have prepared themselves for their daughter's marriage by saving well in advance and they welcome the opportunity to exercise their prerogative

Traditional Responsibilities
If you intend to adopt the traditional responsibilities for paying your wedding expenses, the following usually applies:

The Bride's Father pays for:

His own suit and bride's mother's outfit.

Transport for bride and groom, bride's mother, bridesmaids and himself from ceremony venue to reception venue.
Flowers for the church and reception.
Bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids ( * see below).
Buttonholes for participants and guests ( * see below).
Photographer and/or videographer.

* Sometimes considered the responsibility of the groom.


The Groom's Parents pay for:

The Groom pays for:

It seems like 'traditionally' the bride's parents pay for everything. That kind of stinks for the bride's parents...I mean, the FH is getting a bride...a bigger contribution should be made!
