I've been to Weddings where family paid - the females family usually - and Weddings where the couple getting married paid. I guess it depends what sort of family you are from, if they can afford to cover it or not. In the end, Weddings cost every single person attending a fair amount of cash. Its a money pit for all involved.
However, I would like to think when the time comes, if I have a daughter I'd cover her wedding. If I have a son, he will get a bigger deposit for his first house/apartment.
