Friends don’t give wedding gifts (when they are younger) Collecting for a limo has become a way for friends who are generally in yeshiva and not working to give their friend a gift. To the best of my knowledge it is not a universal practice. I’ve been to many weddings where someone was collecting, and many (including my own) where no one was collecting. No one forces you to give. Whats makes it not Jewish? The fact that it’s a luxury isn’t relevant. Many aspects of todays weddings can be considered luxuries.
