The wedding industry is booming, and getting married has probably never been this expensive. Back in the day, it was customary for parents to pay for a wedding, but nowadays, according to Zola, most couples fund their weddings themselves, either fully (29%) or at least partially (59%).

But since she always disliked him and at one point even told him that he was “not her dad,” he felt like their relationship had become only transactional. That’s why he decided to seek advice online and asked people whether not paying for the wedding of a stepdaughter who disowned him would be unreasonable.
