But that’s where the pressure to buy comes in, doesn’t it? What if your inlaws couldn’t afford to give you something of the same calibre as your own parents bought you? Would you have refused to marry your husband? Of course not, right? That’s silly. I find the concept of expectations tied into gift giving, esp when the gifts are so expensive, to be really bothersome. Give gifts because you want to and you can, with generosity of spirit, and not with an expectation of a similar return. That just takes away from the spirit of gift giving, I feel, no?

Plus, if they can, I don’t see why the inlaws couldn’t give money as your gift instead of gold? That’s what grooms
get, isn’t it, as salaami?

This exactly!!! I wish I could triple like this post!
