How much should one plan to pay for an LDS wedding of a boy as well as a girl? What are the customs as far as who pays

It depends. You can go as cheap as you want or as extravagant as you want.

Forget social customs. Do what makes sense. It’s a celebration and focus on that

Depends on what you want. If you want a venue the price goes up exponentially
