Congratulations :)

There was a time in my life, when I was pretty serious with a girl... And her mother asked for a dowry. In Thailand, this is called 'Sin Sod'.

I agreed to pay a certain amount, to help her family, and the amount that was countered was ridiculous.

It ended up ruining our relationship in the end.

From what I understand now, a dowry is just a tradition-And usually families gift it back to the newlywed couple.

Best wishes, and congratulations again!
