Do we still have to pay the bride price to marry? Both parties are Chinese and both are medical doctors.

Long ago the boy's family must give some kind of angpow as bride price to the girl's parents. Now must some more? Luckily the boy is also a doctor or else might have to pay a lot bcs the girl is also one. What's the latest practice?
