Good Parenting: Only A Parent

Who should pay for the wedding?

I’m Chinese. I just told my parents that I’m getting married. I thought that they would pay for the wedding (it’s tradition for the father of the bride to pay, right? at least in Western culture) but they say that in Chinese culture, the groom’s parents pay.
