Best Answer

The best man should pay for all of his own expenses. Brides, grooms and possibly their parents are paying for the wedding and they are not responsible for the expenses (travel, clothes, accommodations, meals) incurred by any wedding guest including the best man. When you are invited to a wedding and asked to be a part of someone's bridal party; it is an honor. You don't beg the bride and groom to buy you clothes, pay for your hotel room, etc. If you can't afford any of these things then ask if you can wear a suit that you already have insteading of buying or renting one, take the bus to the wedding city instead of flying and stay with friends or family instead of in a hotel when you get there. Find less expensive ways to still be in the bridal party. If the couple makes outrageous demands like requesting the bridal party to take a week off of work to stay in an expensive resort for a wedding in Another Country; then you can just say that you are flattered that your friend wants you to be his best man but that you cannot afford everything that goes along with it.

He does. All wedding guests including the bridal party are responsible for their own expenses.

It's already a gift and an honor to be invited to a wedding. The bride and groom should not have to beg or pay people to come.

What are the financial obligations to the groom when he calls off the wedding?

Unfortunately, the Bride's parents pay for most of the wedding and the Groom's parents usually pay the bar bill. Sometimes both sets of parents will sit down together and decide to split the cost. Often there are single parents so they may also split the costs of the wedding. The ex Groom should be man enough to help pay for any costs such as reserving the church, reception hall, cost of invitations that were sent out, etc., etc. The ex Groom should get a full list of the cost and split it and pay half.
