im just asking for a watch which is the minimum a choson usually gets.
My in-laws are not rich. They did not get me a watch or a shas or anything else major as a wedding gift. They bought me a tallis. My kallah bought me a watch from her own money. That was it.
But you know what… even if they flatly refused to get me anything, I wouldn’t have cared… because I was already getting their daughter which was more important to me than anything else they could possibly provide.
IMHO, if you can’t see that, and if you think starting a family war that can jeopardize your marriage is worth a lousy watch, then perhaps you’re not mature enough to be getting married.
