Never one to play favorites, my mother spends the exact same amount on me and my sister—within $5—every Christmas. So I imagine if my sister ever marries, my mother and father will give her the exact same amount of money they gave me and Rory.

It all seems lovely and fair, but Rory's parents contributed to our wedding. And Rory and I put in a bunch of our own money. What if my sister married someone whose family had a lot less money? Or what if they had a lot more? And would it matter if my sister and her beloved didn't have money of their own to contribute? Also, the bride's family traditionally pays for the wedding—so what if my sister were a brother? Would my parents give less and assume the bride's family would cover the rest?

What do you guys think? If you have siblings, will your parents contribute the same amount to each wedding? Or will they take each child's circumstances into account? Do you think parents should give less if their child is the groom?
