Dividing the Dollar and Duties

Brides and grooms are breaking tradition and dividing the wedding expenses.  What was traditionally paid for by the bride and her family is now being dividing to include the groom’s families.  Today couples are sharing the responsibility and dividing the expenses in thirds, between bride’s parents, groom’s parents, and the couple.  Couples now also have sponsors who provide financial support for the wedding activities.
