My partners have decided to exchange our vows next month, but I am afraid to ask my parents for financial support. In a same-gender wedding, whose side of the family typically bears the expense?
A recent survey showed that more than 80% of partners in a same-sex wedding ceremony pay for their wedding. If your parents agree with your choice, they will contribute monetarily to your cause. The majority of families do embrace the current open-mindedness of our culture. In the past, couples were forced to pay for their weddings because no one seemed to favor their choice. Some couples still choose to split the cost while being independent.
