presents for chinese brides parents?

Question

My American son is marrying a lovely Chinese woman here in the states. Parents live in CN and will come for the wedding. I know we pay for the wedding. What about other expenses. Like the wedding gown. Parents hotel???? Etc

Lee · Answer

Marilyn, of course the groom pays for the wedding gown, hotel and other expenses. That's what Chinese grooms do. It is unfair, isn't it? The bride's parents accept the bride price but don't burden the wedding costs. It's a normal phenomenon. The bride's parents just prepare the dowries. To tell the truth, they just use the bride price you give them to buy the dowries. However, there are some parents who eventually give the bride price back to the bride after wedding.
