My fiance think my family should fund most of our upcoming wedding, but I was unsure that it would be appropriate to ask my family to contribute anything since this will not be a first marriage for either of us. He had a quick Las Vegas wedding last time and wants this one to be traditional. This is my 3rd marriage and his 2nd marriage. Would it be inappropriate to ask either of our family members to contribute or should we foot the bill ourselves?

Yes, it would be inappropriate to ask your parents to fund a second wedding. In fact, these days, more and more couples are paying for their own weddings since the majority of marriages are happening with couples who are moe mature, living on their own and having the means to provide for themselves. Long gone are the days when the bride's parent's are expected to foot the bill for the wedding.
