Others commented that marriage is still about the relationship. Of course, not everyone can afford big money gifts. The couple’s family may be well-off. They continue with this long tradition. There’s nothing wrong with that. What’s important is how a couple makes their marriage work. They can do that with little or much money. It’s always up to them. Let’s just wish them a good and happy life ahead. And, to those who couldn’t afford this, it’s okay. Marriage can still be happy with love and cooperation.
