To bring this thread back to its original topic:
I only set up a single couple in my life. In short, a good friend of mine married a good friend of Eeees’s. We didn’t want to accept anything for shadchanus (as their happiness was reward in and of itself). Nonetheless, they insisted and gave me a gift certificate to a seforim shop (neither of them were particularly well off). Eeees also got something from her friend, but I don’t remember what.
Consider the fact that they got divorced a number of years later, I suppose I’m lucky that they haven’t come back and asked for a refund. 🙂
