There was a time when wedding tradition was strictly adhered to and each family knew exactly what they would be responsible to pay so as to appropriate a budget for these things. Modern society may, to some degree, still respect these time-honoured customs but with the crazy world in which we live with finances often up in the air, the families of the bride and groom often agree amongst themselves who will pay for what. If the bride and her family agree to foot the cost of the honeymoon and they are on a somewhat limited budget, there are affordable honeymoon destinations that would perfectly suit a bride on a budget.
