[quote=GUESTVOYAGER-109,406531]It's not all hopeless though.

I'm 39, my wife is 30. I'm not a high earner - just a poorly-paid fireman - but my wife doesn't care as she's never been interested in money at all. We've always shared right from the moment we first met, but she's never asked me for money except for something that I have asked her to purchase on my behalf. The second year of our relationship I tried to send her some money unsolicited. She got angry with me and sent it all back.

When we got married the token 'bride price' was 4999 Yuan, of which my missus kicked in 3000 from her savings (basically all of it), as I'd already shelled out a heap on airfares, bus fares, hotels, trains etc in the preceeding month. Her parents gave us some back the day after the wedding. I have no idea how much, as I promised my wife I won't ever open the envelopes - after all, it's the thought that counts - although I presume it's probably the odd 99 Yuan from the above amount. The envelopes live in a picture frame along with our wedding photo.[/quote]
