Leizor: You should never ask for a present. Whether your in laws are in a position to give and don’t want to or they are in a tough financial situation, it is their decision and theirs alone. Jewelry does not make a marriage. Presents don’t make a marriage. Let’s be honest here for a second. Who do you think is buying the watch? Not your kallah. She has no money. (unless she has been working for years and putting money aside.) It is your future in laws that will. Think about it this way. You are marrying your kallah. That is the best present in the world. IY”H you both will be able to purchase presents for each other in the future. That will mean so much more. When a couple toils and works for the good of each other, their marriage will be successful and no present in the world in worth it.
