just a piece of advise to those planning to get hitch soon...

always discuss n understand each other's financial position, planning & habits b4 signing anything or sending out cards, better still b4 the guy pops the big question...

and never never ever plan that ur ang pows will cover the cost of ur wedding... especially when times are bad... if u need to open ur ang pows the next day to find out if u r still financially sound, u r not ready to get married...

as for chinese dowry, it is a must because it shows ur appreciation to ur in laws, from 2688 up to 12888, depending on the situation la.. unless u r paying like 95% of the total wedding cost (including the house & reno) like me, then u mite have to force the dowry down ur in-laws throat....
