I have however been thinking of an option of elopement but we have gone too far to start doing that.<br /><br />@ Mama Shujaa... Thanks for looking out. Hopefully this is the first and final list. I am feeling quite mutinous about this dowry thing and unfortunately 'my elders' also seem to want something from me. They have been asking for huge amounts to travel to Monique's home.<br /><br />Apparently, under custom I am supposed to cook for Monique's parents or arrange such appropriate meal for them at a later stage.<br /><br />I should try the Bankelele suggestion. If Monique doesn't play ball, I may just threaten to marry someone else.Our Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928549491312175017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494264986900677381.post-39176160772393267282010-05-04T02:38:11.920-07:002010-05-04T02:38:11.920-07:00Is this the first list?

I guess they are trying to convince you that instead of getting a lorry of 50 goats they will accept cash which is probably more than the cost of a wedding. Your side should be firm, say this is what we do, and what we pay when we marry FULL STOP or no wedding! Your bride has to assist you hear and tell her family to stop these demands (will she elope?) <br /><br />Also consult an elder from her side (who’s s stranger to her family) and find out if you’re being hit up too hard.bankelelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01180926084939364063noreply@blogger.com
