An excert from here : Slacks implies pants of certain materials which are not part of a suit (jeans are not slacks, and you would not refer to the pair of trousers that came with a suit as slacks.) It is also more common to use slacks to refer to pants worn by women, while men would wear trousers.
1 Bride and family pay for arrangements for church (including huppah if a Jewish wedding ceremony) and reception, plus bouquets and corsages for bridesmaids and flower girls. 2  Groom and family pay for bride's bouquet and going-away corsage, boutonnieres for men, and corsages for mothers and grandmothers.
At DD's wedding, the groom's family (who are in a *much* higher income bracket than we are) very generously wanted to split the cost of the wedding with us. Not only was this generous, but it was also reasonable, as the groom had more specific -- and more expensive -- ideas about what he wanted than the bride had.hould the bride and groom expect their parents to pay for a wedding if the the parents just paid for college. There are countless scenarios. DH and I paid for our wedding, 100%. My father offered to pay for the rehearsal dinner, and I accepted.
