I know. I had a lavish wedding in a castle with a designer gown, and etc. But we didn't pay for that! 😱 That would have bankrupted us.

Only thing the groom paid for were the rings and the honeymoon. Everything else was our parents. 

 It's not proof of a solid foundation, if you go broke paying for it. The foundation is that your parents are wealthy (or the groom is).

You don't spend dowry money on a party. 🤦‍♀️ 

 Haha, that last line 😅💯
