We paid for our rings ourselves.
My parents paid for the wedding. His covered the rehearsal dinner and the honeymoon. That said, we got married on a budget (about $3k) and couldn't have afforded a honeymoon had his parents not gifted it to us. It was all very frugal and very wonderful!

We paid for 90% of our own weddings and receptions-#we had two of each. My in-laws paid for some specific items needed for the Hindu wedding--flower garland for us to wear and my gold wedding necklace. My mother paid for some od oir wedding flowers and made my second night wedding favors.
My husband and I had a 60/40 split of everything else--venues, catering, music, decor, attire, etc.

My parents paid 100% of the wedding. His parents paid for the rehearsal (much less expensive - like 2% of the cost of the wedding). My mom is more of an etiquette traditionalist and would have preferred for DH's parents to pay for the things that the groom & his family are supposed to, like my bouquet, family flowers, etc. but I persuaded her to not ask DH's family to do that and they never offered or asked about anything other than the rehearsal.

We paid for everything ourselves but we also only had immediate family present and didn't do rings/dress/venue or anything traditional. My husband would not have been ok with my dad paying for the wedding (it doesn't work like that in his culture), but my dad did give us a generous monetary gift.

DH's family paid for the rehearsal dinner and gave us money for a wedding gift that we used towards our honeymoon. My parents paid for about 2/3 of the wedding and we covered the rest.
