现在，由谁负担婚礼的花费是一个普遍的问题
Who pays for wedding nowadays is a common question.
 
按照过去的传统，婚礼的费用是全部有新娘的父母承担的，因为他们认为这部分费用应该是家庭开支预算的一部分。
Traditionally in the past the bride's family has paid for the entire wedding with the knowledge and understanding that the wedding ought to be kept within their family budget.

这种习俗一直延续到今天。
This practice is still followed today.

但是，另一方面，男方家庭如果愿意的话也是可以分担部分花费的，比如买花的费用、酒水费用或是音乐消费等。
On the other hand,it is also not unusual nowadays,for groom's family to sometimes offer to help share some of the expense,if they wish,such as the cost of flowers,liquor or music.
