Money can't represent blessings.
Mr. Ji got married in the early 1980s. He told reporters that at that time, marriage was not about "money", and relatives and friends often gave some commemorative and practical gifts. "Some relatives sent blankets and towels, some friends sent a pair of beautiful mouthwash cups, and the elders sent a set of sofas and coffee tables, as well as quilts and so on. If it is a gift, 2 yuan money, 3 yuan money and 5 yuan money will not exceed 10 yuan at most. " Mr. Ji recalled that a satin quilt cover that his family is still using was given by a friend when he and his wife got married. In those days, it was a very expensive gift.
"In the 1990s, living conditions were better, wages were higher than before, and' money' was popular, but the impression was generally tens of dollars. In the blink of an eye, 30 years have passed, and people's wages have risen from dozens to thousands now, and' money money' has risen even more. " Mr. Ji said.
Although "money" conveys the mind, many relatives and friends carefully choose gifts for the couple, which is also profound and full of blessings, making the couple unforgettable. These are not measurable by money. Only when we do what we can, regardless of form and quantity, and wrap the truth in it, can people make "money" comfortably.
More or less depends on the mentality.
Su Zhiyang (pseudonym), who has been married for six years, just changed his job last year. Regarding the "money" in marriage, he said: "In the peak season of marriage, my wife and I are rushing for the wedding reception every rest day. At the beginning, we all gave 100 as a gift. At present, 100 yuan is out of control, and all the good relations are 500 yuan. At this time, the amount of' money' fully shows the depth of feelings. I think "paying attention to members" is a way of reciprocity, which can increase our feelings, but the amount of money is not important, the key is friendship. Some people use' money' to measure the weight of friendship, which is not a good thing. "
"Daughter married, I don't know when. Colleagues who work together now can't stay in this unit all the time, let alone invite people who have made gifts before. This is an unrealistic question. I don't want the money to return to my pocket in a few years. The present gifts are all blessings to the couple. It all depends on your own mentality. " Su Zhiyang said.
Money can't increase the cost of the wedding banquet.
In May this year, Wang Li and her boyfriend who had been in love for 2 years held a wedding in a hotel in Yining City. After the wedding, Wang Li calculated an account.
Before getting married, Wang Li also thought a lot about money. When sending invitations, she deliberately avoided some colleagues who didn't communicate often. Wang Li chose a table of 988 yuan at the wedding reception, plus drinks, cigarettes, sugar and so on. Each table is 1 100 yuan. Wedding banquet 16 table, totaling more than RMB * *17,000. Together with the red envelopes and clothes that the wedding company gave to relatives and children, it was nearly 30,000 yuan, and the "money" received at the wedding was more than 40,000 yuan.
She said, "We seem to have earned 1000 yuan at the wedding banquet. However, if these relatives and friends who come to the wedding banquet have happy events in the future, we will also attend. Almost all the 40 thousand yuan they gave us will be returned. These days, it is difficult to make an abacus of "making money at weddings", and other expenses are not counted. Fortunately, after a wedding reception, thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan are not posted. Although the current' money money' has risen a little, it will not increase in price, so I think it is more like everyone taking turns to make money for a wedding. " (Reporter Feng Wei)
