My husband and I did not have a separate Valima, just one combined reception. The day after the shaadi, we had a “chothi” function hosted by Ammi and she handed us all the monetary gifts that were given at the wedding.

With that being said, had she or my mil not done that, I wouldn’t have asked or made a fuss about it,*** it’s not worth it to start relations off on a sour note.***

I’ve thought about this after reading threads about people rowing with their in-laws over money or gifts. People are beginning a new relationship on a sour note and that only leads to more negativity. How will they explain it if their children ever ask them why they don’t get on with their grandparents? “Oh, it’s because your grandmother didn’t give us enough gifts at our wedding and kept the £100 that aunty gave to us.” Not exactly classy.
