Many young couples take on the wedding expenses themselves but costs can be shared.

There is no doubt most Cairns weddings can prove expensive with original estimates usually well below the reality.

Today, the bride’s parents are not always expected to pay for the majority of the Cairns wedding and many couples opt to cover a large share of the wedding expenses themselves.

Because there are many different family situations today, each Cairns wedding is different.

So long as all parties agree, who pays for what at the Cairns wedding should not be an issue.

However, in the case of ambiguity regarding traditional wedding expectations, it helps to have a guide to fall back on.
