hi,
To all those who have been married for a few years or so..Do you remember what family and friends gave to you on your wedding for example what present each friend gave or how much money people gave to you…I was just thinking that I don’t actually remember who gave me what on my wedding or I never actually made a note of it. Just curious, thanks
Re: To all those who are married....
Nobody ever remembers unless it is something very big or out of ordinary. For example a jewelry set , or a baby feeder.
Re: To all those who are married....
Most of the time - money is given to the couple. On the wedding, my mum made a list of who gave how much and same thing happened on the walima so we can remember for the future if there are weddings in the future in any of those families.
mirch: do you remember who gave you what on your wedding if you are married? Do you still have all your wedding day cards that people gave to you?
thanks

We do have our wedding cards neatly put in our wedding albums. My wife is good with those things, but we do not remember who gave us what other than those who gave us expensive gifts. We did not even make a list , I am not into reciprocating on equal basis , I will gift whatever I can afford at the time.
Re: To all those who are married....
I still have my wedding cards...they bring back all the memories!
Re: To all those who are married....
your so lucky i dont have any of my wedding cards, so I do not have any memories:(. I really wish I could look back and see what family and friends wrote in those cards.

Why what did you do with them?
Re: To all those who are married....
I can remember almost everything that I received as a present and from whom!!!
But that's just me - sad!!!!!
Re: To all those who are married....
^ WAM thats called very good memory mashallah and there is nothing sad bout what you were given for your wedding!
sunset_eyes: After we got married there was a fire in our house upstairs, only in one room but things got damaged in other rooms aswell. I just wish I had scanned the cards or taken photos of them before this happened. I even lost my babies photos and other memories of the wedding. I know I should say alhamdolliah that noone was hurt but I always get upset when I think about it.

Oh thats so sad to hear - Just be grateful that no one got hurt! Get some new memories made - why dont you, ur hubby and kid/s go to a photographer and get some nice photos taken? That'll be nice!
Re: To all those who are married....
I know i have hardly no memories of the wedding, I do have pics but you know it would have been nice to have the cards too.
Yeah I remember gift items after 6 years of marriage like gold set, rings or pendants but not cash.
Re: To all those who are married....
I tend to be able to remember these things anyway, but my mum actually writes it down in a specially designated book (my sibling's and I joke about it and refer to it as mum's 'gham khaadi' book - pashto speakers will understand) and she did the same at my wedding too which turned out to be a good idea since it's hard to keep track of who gives you what during weddings.
Re: To all those who are married....
I have all the cards and notes people gave us on our wedding and we also made a list of who gave what.
Re: To all those who are married....
i jusst remember what my close frends and relatives gave to me....on other hand v got very very precious gift frm our inlaws side coz their bziness is of export so their clients from differnt countries send beauiful gifts (watch, swarovski decoration pieces etc.) and compliments.
besides all these my parents and in laws also have record what ppl gave their name and amount.
coz its bit difficult to remember.
and our salami was around 35 lac from my in-laws frends and relatives only.
Re: To all those who are married....
I made a list and sent out thank you cards, so yes, I remember most.
Re: To all those who are married....
I remember pretty much everything, yes, even after 12 years. I have a box of wedding memories, and I did send out thank yous so I have that list. In fact I still have many of the gifts. But we had very few people at our wedding so I guess it's easier to remember.
