[quote=SDAVISALASKA,419180]Thought I'd throw in my experience here. My wife came to the U.S. 8 months ago on a work visa. She's from a small village, and after we'd worked and spent a lot of time with eachother, we knew we were meant for eachother. We married here, and for a few weeks, she chose not to tell her family, because of promises she'd made to them about not looking for a "boyfriend" in the U.S. Eventually, she did tell her mother though. Yes, there were a few days of crying, and some bitter words from her family, for not telling them sooner, but in the end, everything worked out. As far as "bride price" goes. Her family has only asked for the money that they raised to help her come to the U.S., and that is something that I gladly returned to them. My wife, however, has asked me if we can send money that her parents used to send her to school, and university. She has a close bond with her family, and feels obligated to help them.[/quote]
