Hello Bride & Groom’s To Be!
I’m Ruby the Rochester Bride! As a newlywed of the Rochester area, I love sharing my knowledge of the wedding experience with newly engaged couples. This week, I am going to share with you some traditions and etiquette as far as wedding financial responsibilities go.
{1} The Bride & Groom's Financial Responsibilities: Some couples will divide up these responsibilities, and some will pay for everything together (besides gifts for each other). These are general guidelines, but vary for each bride & groom!
