I completely agree! (Then again, with my English background, I always assumed that the bride would pay for everything, UK style.) I've felt very taken advantage of as a bridesmaid. It's one thing if it's a low key backyard wedding where they are clearly trying to keep it as budget friendly as possible, but when it's a huge wedding, well, that's something else. I was once told by that bride, "I would rather spend it on myself." Thanks for that, nevermind the $1500 I put out for everything. Needless to say, I don't agree with the whole "You have to do what I say because I'm the bride" for every little thing*, and if I end up like that, I will take a long hard look at my life.
*I understand for the bridal gown, ceremony/reception location, big ticket issues, this is fair.
