While this is what traditionally happened, there is no hard and fast rule that says it must be like this. Work out with your fiancée who is paying for what. You should feel comfortable with whatever you decide. If you feel uncomfortable asking your parents or other family members to contribute a lot of money, talk this through and try to reach an amicable agreement between everyone.
The run up to the wedding is very stressful and while you may be excused for losing your cool sometimes, your family and your new family will be around after the wedding and will remember all that you have said.
