I feel like I've lately seen younger couples getting married on mommy and daddy's dime, but older couples (30s or older) seem to be expected to foot their own bill.There may be some truth to that. Both me and my wife were 29 and finished with college when we married.
That's actually a sound reason the more I think of it. People get married crazy young around here. It is totally not uncommon at all for folks to marry at 18 or 19. That sounds insane to me, but whatever. Most are so young that they couldn't pay for a wedding if they wanted to. :/
