A sister named Elizabeth.
"I have a pretty present for my Victor -tomorrow he shall have it." And when, on the morrow, she presented Elizabeth to me as her promised gift, I, with childish seriousness, interpreted her words literally and looked upon Elizabeth as mine-mine to protect, love, and cherish.
No word, no expression could body forth the kind of relation in which she stood to me- my more than sister, since till death she was to be mine only.
If there is an engagement party then yes, the parents would give a gift. Many couples get engaged and don't have an engagement party and in this case it is not necessary for the parents to give a gift.
No, the mother of the bride does not give the groom or his parents a gift, but just gives a gift to her daughter and new son-in-law.
Of course they can, but only for inheritance after their death.
Any gift would be appreciated by the parents; a gift of clothes, money, religious context, all will be OK.
All parents appreciate the thought that goes into a small gift. It's especially nice to give a gift he can enjoy with baby.
The groom's parents usually pay for the rehearsal dinner, which is their gift to the couple. Another small gift to the couple can be given. If the mother wishes to give a small gift to her son of some type, this is perfectly acceptable, although she should also give a small gift to her daughter-in-law as well. If the parents did not pay for a rehearsal dinner, then the value of the couple's gift should be a bit higher.
No, there is no reason that the groom's parents need give the bride an additional gift over and above the gift given to the bride and groom. Some mother-in-laws may have a special piece of jewelry they may want the bride to have, but that is the mother-in-laws choice.
Yes, parents can give a gift to their daughter if she has eloped, but if they are unhappy as to who you have married they may refuse to give a gift. Most parents look forward to seeing their daughter get married at a church with a reception following and they are more than likely disappointed. If your parents like the young man you married then you could have a wedding or if not that, have a reception to celebrate the marriage and perhaps you would get a gifts from parents and guests.
