To lesschumras: the collecting door to door is not for the wedding. Unfortunately in certain circles it is accustomed that the parents buy the young couple an apt. (this can range from 50-50 to the girl’s side paying everything). As much as I don’t approve of this practice, for I don’t see why they can’t move to some cheaper outlying area and even rent if necessary, it certainly makes more sense to spend money on a place for them to live then on weddings where you need a map to tell you which fork to use when. (by the way my experience has been that fancy weddings have less food on the plate – that shows you its all a bunch of fluff and no substance anyway).
