Typically, the cost should be covered by the groomsman.

Wedding costs are skyrocketing in that only the well-heeled can afford to foot the bill for everything these days. A couple of decades ago, a $50K wedding was an incredibly lavish affair...not so much these days!

My wife and I covered our own expenses when we got married so we had a modest ceremony. Our bridal party was also small, to reduce cost.

I once had to play for a wedding where the family couldn't even afford to pay me! Too bad the actual marriage lasted less than a year!
