These days the bride and groom pay for most of it except for what the parents volunteer to pay. This is why the finances should be discussed with both sets of parents and the couple.
The ages of the couple could factor in since the parents tend to pay for more when the bride and groom are younger. Older couples should expect to pay more themselves as the parents may be on more of a fixed income as they get older.
