Personally, I'd take the gift back and get my money back and never buy the couple a gift again
What kind of gift does groom give the bride's family in Sudan?
It use to be that live stock was given, to the family.
Or land or a house ( these are mud homes) But if the Groom came from far away then money is given in replacement and equal to the amount of live stock that would have been given.
example 22 cows and 1 bull each cow is $500 the bull is $1500... 20 goats at $100 each, 15 checkens and a rooster $20 for hens $40 for Rooster....it is negotiated during several meetings or over time with the familes, groom and elders or clergy.
If the man loves the women... her value is beyond what he can afford but he should ask that the family help him as he loves her and she loves him and ... so the negotiation goes....
There are many Sudanese familes in countries all around the world now.
The family should be able to help with this info. Some will have to do with family tradition's and tribe tradition's also...
Best Wishes!

- When a person has caught the wedding bouquet (all single girls) that signifies that she will be the next to get married.

Does a wedding dress have to be preserved?
This is all about preference. Many women are more apt to keep their wedding dress for sentimental reasons. Hoping that one day, her daughter will want to wear it on her wedding day.
However, preserving that dress is the real challenge. There are alot of years between now and then. Spaceage vaccuum bags are probably your best bet in preserving that expensive one-timer, maybe a two-timer dress.
If you are not a sentimental person, I hear Goodwill picks up.
Do you address the card to the couple as Mr and Mrs if the card is sent before the wedding?

Should the brides parents except money from the grooms paraents after the wedding?
Social conventions have changed so much over the past decade.
This would depend on what was discussed, if anything, prior to the wedding. If the groom's parents told the bride's parents that they wished to contribute to the cost of the wedding, and the groom's parents graciously accepted this gesture, then receiving such a contribution after the event would most certainly be acceptable.
Social etiquette, historically, placed the suggestion that the bride's family hosted the wedding. However, the groom's family contributed towards other 'head start' projects for the newlyweds such as: starter home costs, vehicle, honeymoon, etc.
Regardless of all these conventions, the prevailing thought to hold is harmony for all. Is their gesture being made without any influence, whatsoever, of perceived guilt. Have you commented to anyone, anywhere, that you felt, for whatever reason, that the groom's family should have, at the very least, offered to have helped? If so, it may be that a comment such as this, no matter how reflectively you may have meant it, has reached the parents and they're hurt. Most importantly, how may this have added unnecessary strain to the start of a new marriage?
If the parents alluded to their desire to want to help financially, prior to the wedding, and then did not so, perhaps it's wise to accept that their intentions were most sincere, but circumstances arose which prevented them from doing so at the moment and now conditions have changed.
Whatever the circumstances, it's important to remember that the impetus is upon both sets of parents to help and nurture their children in their new life together. This comes first and foremost in every step you take.
If you have received a cheque in the post from them and are uncomfortable in accepting it, rather than sending the cheque back, first speak with your new son in law and daughter together. They may offer the best advice of all. And I'm certain your new son in law will respect you for this.
What is the name and designer of Kristen Bell's wedding dress in the movie When In Rome?
The dress (designed by Maggie Sottero) is Briony, a silk organza strapless dress with a satin ribbon and floral detail at the waist.
There is no need to purchase mirrors; a pedestal or base for the bride to stand on so she can see her wedding dress in a full length mirror because she can do that at the bridal shop where she bought the wedding dress. A carpeted platform is in the fitting room for the bride to stand on. If the dress was made then a mirror on legs could be purchased and given to the bride as a wedding gift for her new home (be it an apartment or home.) Some lovely mirrors on legs (old fashion and quite beautiful) can be found at antique stores or secondhand stores.
- If your unmarried daughter does not, of her own accord (without anyone interring) want to see her boyfriend again then the boyfriends mother should not invite 15 more people to the baby shower. If your daughter loves her boyfriend then there is no reason his mother should not be able to invite 15 of her friends, but, you can ask her to help out with the expenses.
