my parents are my parents and they are the ones paying for my wedding and if it is in their tradition to give gifts to my fiance's family at the time of the shaadi to celebrate... well I cant really stop them. I can voice my opinion which I have ... but that is that.
Thats true. The gift giving is a tradition followed in my family and I don't exactly agree with it but I know I can't stop my parents from doing it because they want to do it and moreover they'll be paying for it too so you can't really tell them what they can and can't spend their money on. When my khala got married my family did they gift thing and my khala really made a fuss because she didn't want gifts to be given since she didn't agree with it but my nan just basically told her that we do this in our family and I'm paying with my money so you shouldn't have a problem with it. We can't stop parents once they start rollin :p
