    False-ish. We are paying for most of it ourselves, but my grandparents offered to pay for our bouquets/boutonnieres as our wedding gift, and my parents bought the pieces for our flower wall.

    FH and myself are splitting a lot of the costs with both sets of our parents. We are grateful for their help and support and know we are lucky we can get assistance. We are still doing what we can do to keep costs reasonable for all of us but the numbers are easier to accept knowing we are splitting them basically 3 ways.

    False. 100% us but we want it that way because we don't want a single person telling us what do to or judging our choices. Ramen noodles for the next year it is haha!

    False. We are not even registering. We combined two households and all of our family is traveling from out of state/country, so we felt their present to us is that they are coming.

    My fiancee and I are paying for our wedding but our family has chipped in. His parents are most likely paying for catering, my grandma paid for my dress and veil, my aunt and uncle are doing STD/invitations, and my other aunt is contributing monetarily as well. My parents haven't decided yet since I'm the first kid in the family to get married, they're not sure what to do! But otherwise, we are paying for our wedding!

    True. My fiance and I are paying for majority of the wedding. We have had help from my father, my mother, and FH's uncle. It helped us out a lot.
