Not in London or Toronto. You get some Italian Canadians and Greek Brits that do that, but that's an outdated idea. Parents save for college. College is so much more important to help pay for than weddings.
Before college was so expensive, they used to do both.

Same here...huge Scots Irish clan and a big BBQ or fish fry in a big old shady backyard is the ticket to a good time
Some parents still do cover both. I just attended a family wedding where the bride's parents paid for the wedding and reception afterwards. And had paid for her college. Actually, it was a back yard reception, but there was a ton of food!

I see parents help pay for the wedding. But not pay for the whole thing. And most of the weddings are big and expensive. But most people are getting married later. Like my sister, they have the money to pay for an expensive wedding.
