how much money do your parents request before the wedding?

May 24, 2016 1:05am CST
It really bothers me these days by the betrithal gifts. I can understand my parents but the number is not very reasonable for my bf's family. I just hope that all of us can agree on a pretty acceptable one.

You don't say where you live but for most of us, this is not the normal way of behaviour.

I am a Chinese. But my parents didn't ask for it because in their mind they were not selling daughter. My husband did give them money and paid for the wedding. We are not so traditional.

yeah, the amount my dad insisted is unacceptable for the bridegroom's family. But no mattet how much dad requested , all the money will give us directly. I can understand that all things he has done are all for us.

It is proper that, as our young people dare to correct a wrong tradition. I think, not all traditions are good and should be followed.
