My hometown is from Texas. It seems that this custom is different in our hometown, especially now, because the man bears more money. Especially now, the dowry and quilt are given by the man first, and then the woman buys them. Of course, the bride and groom can also buy furniture together.

Jewelry money and clothing money are given at the time of engagement, and some are given at the time of marriage. In short, when engaged, 1 1000 yuan, 17000 yuan and other dowry. It's necessary, and jewelry. Married, clothes bought, quilts made, and so on. In addition, when engaged to get married, the woman also has to hold a banquet, and the man has to bear part of the money for the banquet.

As for the relationship between who the money is, let's settle accounts after this matter is finished, and some will be given directly to the newcomers. However, this belongs to parents and is understandable. After all, many human feelings have been spent by them before, or need to be spent in the future.

However, there may be differences in different places. You need to discuss this situation with your fiance.
