Paid cash and our parents each helped out... We each probably paid a 1/3

Both our parents chipped in some, and the rest we saved up for. We put stuff on credit cards, but only for the reward points. We had the $$ to pay it off in full.

We paid cash and had a small daytime wedding. The only thing we regretted was not going with our gut and eloping!

Our parents both contributed, and DH/I paid some as well.

Parents!

We went to Vegas, so it was pretty darn cheap! My Dad paid for the wedding ($200!), the hotel & flight (free w/points), and the catering for the small party we held. I paid for my dress (cheap), the rest of the food, and spending money in Vegas. I think total it was like 1000$, and it was paid for cash by my Dad and us.
-
I paid cash. My dad gave me a little money.
-
My parents paid for the majority of it
-
All of the above! My parents paid for some things, my in laws gave us some cash, we sold my car and paid for a bunch of things with that cash, and we put a few things on credit cards and paid them off over a year or two.
-
I'm selecting cash in the poll because we didn't go into debt, but we used our CCs for convenience. My mom paid for my attire and hair and make up, which was nice of her.
-
My parents gave us a small amount, DHs paid for rehearsal dinner and gave us another small check, and we paid for the rest.
-
We paid cash for all the big items and had no balance on our credit card! It was painful to watch the cash go but we stuck to our budget. And we were so thankful for generous gifts that we made most of it back!
-
Saved and paid with cash. Except we did take out one small personal loan toward the end. We couldn't cut back anymore than we had at that point. My parents paid for the florist and I think my sister paid for our hair (which my mom paid her for so really it was my parents).
-
We planned to pay for the whole thing in cash, but my parents wanted to help with a lump sum. If you don't count honeymoon or rings (which we paid for), they paid about half and we paid about half. Although our wedding was relatively low-budg, as weddings go.
-
My parents paid for the wedding. His parents paid for the rehearsal dinner. We paid for our own honeymoon and rings.
-
My dad gave me about 1/4 and I used part of my inheritance. It wasn't that expensive!
-
We paid cash. I paid 40% and my husband paid 60%. Well, our parents both kicked in for 1 thing--my mom bought flowers for the first night's reception and the bouquets for the second night and my inlaws bought my wedding jewelry for the hindu ceremony.
-
Saved and paid for our wedding. Bums me out that I had to pay for a wedding that was essentially for my in-law's. I didn't have much say.
-
We paid a lot with cash and my ILs helped some.
-
We paid cash.
-
Out parents helped a little. DH was in an accident and got a settlement and we paid for the majority of the wedding that way
-
I paid for it all on my own! It was less than 3k.
-
Mom and dad paid cash. My in laws paid for the rehearsal dinner and a shuttle bus to take all our guest to and from the hotel.
-
My parent's paid for the wedding, and my in-laws paid for the honeymoon & rehearsal dinner. That's pretty common around here. I don't know any of my friends who paid for their own wedding. We were fairly young (just out of college), so we wouldn't have had a wedding at all if they didn't pay.
-
Parents paid for 10%, borrowed money for 20% of it and the rest was us. Paid off the borrowed money within 2 years.

We paid 50% cash and each of our rents paid 25% cash

We had a very small wedding and paid cash.
-
Savings! Parents didn't pay anything.

I am super lucky to have parents that could afford to pay cash for the entire shebang. It was a gift that my Dad was so proud of and one that we could never, ever thank him enough for!! We paid for rings, flower girl dresses, honeymoon and limo.
-
DH and I, DH's parents and my parents split it 3 ways. Everyone paid cash. No debt!
-
We paid cash
-
My parents gave us $7500 to use at our discretion. We paid the rest with cash. Our budget was $12 000.
-
We did a combination of all three options. I am not sure it was terribly prudent to put part of our wedding on credit cards but we were naive and the costs spiraled more that we expected. Thankfully we were able to pay it all off relatively quickly but I couldn't really advise it! (It wasn't a super expensive wedding either which helped but it wasn't by any means cheap either.)
-
Saved money and paid cash. DHs family helped out a bit with catering though.
-
Each of our parents gave us $5000 to spend either on the wedding or just to have, and my mom bought my dress. We paid for anything that wasn't covered in cash (or credit card for convenience, but carried no debt after it was over).
-
Mom and dad paid cash.
-
We paid for some things ourselves, but it was mostly paid for by my in-laws.
