is it true that the brides parents pay for the wedding ? or is it like a splitsy 50/50 thing ?

False

please elaborate your answer, is the first statement false ? , or the second one ? or both ?

Generally speaking, the brides parents pay for the wedding & the grooms parents pay for the reception

oh i see , does the groom pay for something then ?

He’s already paying with his life

the house/bills

is there such a thing ? Or a culture thing
In Asia the Groom pay for every shit.

France.
My preferred part is when the priest will complain that people are only coming for weddings. Then later when people are embarrassed singing.
50/50 if the couple is young, else they can pay for it all, eventually be helped, it can varies if one side has more money than the other, but the event itself overclass the money, the time spent in preparing it also counts.
Equality of sexes.

damn got robbed, i paid for like 80% of the wedding
