在美国,女儿的嫁妆和所有的结婚费用应该都由女方出,呵呵。
In China, when two people get married it is usually the bridegroom and his family to cover the cost of the wedding ceremony. In USA, however, it is the complete opposite. The bride and her family are and should be fully responsible for the expensive cost of the wedding ceremony.
In China, some couples do not feel very happy if they get a baby girl due to the societal pressure of Chinese culture/tradition. In USA, some couples do not feel very happy if they get a baby girl because they have to save lots of money for their girl’s wedding ceremony in future.
Many parents in USA will ask or seriously discuss with their daughters the question before they enter the colleges: wedding or tuition? If you want us to pay the cost of your future wedding ceremony, then, we will help you to get the loans from the government or banks to cover your tuition. We will save your tuition money for your wedding ceremony. [Of course, daughters will have to pay back the tuition loans by themselves later after they start working.] On the other hand, if you want us to pay the 4-year tuition for you, then you will be responsible for the cost of your wedding ceremony.
