Re: Engagement help..
Hey Gina!
First of all many congrats girl!:). Now on to the questions...
Well mostly the engagements and weddings are done at nite time unless its a wedding where there are guests coming from other cities. Also, it depends on you what you prefere :). As for the stuff given to the guy's families...usually from what i have seen clothes are given to all of his immediate family i.e parents, grandparents, siblings. Some people even give clothes to the extended family like phupos, tayas, mamo's....but i don't think its necessary and infact it shouldnt be promoted because than it becomes the norm and poor people have trouble fulfilling such requirements :(. Anywayz, so yah other than that something of gold is given to the mother in law, probably a watch for the fil and if any bils...and again gold earings or like that for the sil....I would say it's too much but people do it so i am just telling you what i have seen. And it would be nice if these customs are changed:)
