yea me neither.... but i have come to learn that the bride sides is expected to provide a LOTTTT ..........
Weird. I know here in the States the groom's side often purchases jewelry, clothing and even accessories (ostensibly for the bride to wear at the Walima), which are then gauchely displayed at the Nikah or Mehendi, but I didn't know they expect anything in return.
To Hell with 'jahaiz': I don't think I would marry into a family whose members couldn't afford to *clothe themselves!*
