Mike and I are paying for everything, including our mom's trips to Jamaica. My mom wants to pay for something, so she said she would host the welcome party we are having and my gift from her was my dress and veil. I think just being the ages we are (28 and 34), we've been on our own for so long, that we never thought of someone else paying for our wedding. Don't get me wrong, if someone offered to pay, we would gladly accept it...lol!
