I think 'pay' is inappropriate to describe the situation. Maybe it's called something else. I heard that man's family give the woman's family a good amount of money or other stuffs like gold, furniture, etc when marrying. Specially Arabians. Why so? This is also common in south east. Someone told me they give money so that he can divorce her without causing much chaos. I think it's funny.

I know most people say it is tacky BUT I am doing my sister s wedding shower and her and her fiance want some real copper pans so they would like money for the gift. I have talked to some of the guests and they are relieved not to have to purchase actual items. I need an idea of how to write this. We are doing a tea shower with lots of fun games and on the invite I am adding a tea bag for them to put money in. And we will have extra envelopes at the shower as well. Any suggestions without anyone being rude?? Thanks Okay thanks to those that were not rude. I have been invited to several of these asking for cash, bridal showers are changing now since couples are living together ahead of time. I do not feel it is rude to ask for money. They can do it if they want or they don't have to. I have found my wording and am very happy with it.

I feel very strongly about getting married before the child is born...I want her on my insurance for the birth, I want my legal rights to the child established on paper. I wanted to have a wedding at my family church with a "cake & punch" reception in the church basement like my parents. She has her eyes on this "Bed & Breakfast" in Main. That's fine I guess, but the wait list and planning mean the wedding would happen well after the child is born. This makes me nervous because he insurance is awful and I feel really guilty having sex before marriage. Should we postpone so she can have her dream reception? Anyone else think the religious and legal elements are more important then the reception, or am I old fashioned? Has no one tried to put their girlfriend on their work insurance? Usually you can't. Have you looked at the costs associated with childbirth? Sure, you can put the child on your insurance *AFTER* (s)he is born, but that doesn't help with childbirth associated expenses.
