It should depend on how long you think they will stay married or if it's like their fifth wedding or something........ j/k.
At the weddings I've been to, the bride's side pays for everything and the gifts and money goes to the people who are actually getting married. It's delicate when it comes to who pays for the ceremonies and whatnot. Some people spend a lot of money on weddings and it's all about not looking like a cheap ass. Thank god I only have one girl and two boys. Actually, none of them are going to get married at the rate they're going, LOL. No grandkids....... yeah!!!!! Retirement is looking better all the time.
Edit: probably not relevant at all, but the one thing people remember about the wedding is the food. People long forget how beautiful the bride was or how smoothly the event went. It's all about the food and the drinks. I've been married for almost 25 years now and back then it was appliances, earthware, and cutlery from the Caucasians and money (a fair amount) from the Asian guests.
Oh, there is one thing that overrides the good food rule and that is the groom getting drunk and acting like an ass at the reception/dance. That seems to haunt people the most. So, if you're the best man at the wedding, stay sober yourself and keep the groom from ruining the wedding for the bride and the parents/relatives.
===============
favourite line I give the wife when appropriate: Honey, I love you more than life itself, because I gave it up when I married you.
