That day my brother got married, I was really tired, busy from morning to night, and found that even the closest uncle was only 500, and the others were more than 300, and even 50, I was really chilled.
My brother and I have a very deep relationship, and since I was a child, I have taken him as my responsibility and raised him with hard work. Therefore, of course, I have to do my best to get married and do it according to the highest specifications. Each table is 2880, 50 tables, 32 dishes per table, all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas. My husband and I were really heartbroken for this wedding.
The wine at the banquet is also a big problem. My husband often had a headache after drinking, and in the end we found a cost-effective wine, but fortunately it didn't disappoint everyone.
On the day of the wedding, I was really happy to see so many relatives coming. I believe that if my parents saw this scene in the heavenly spirit, they would also be gratified.
However, there was a little episode after the banquet began. A few idlers from the village coaxed us to pick the door and choose a wine that we had never heard of. I was really angry at the time, but my husband stopped me and explained it to everyone politely. He took his glass and drank it down, winning everyone's applause.
After the wedding, my brother and I counted the gift money. As a result, the more I counted, the more cold I felt, my parents died early, and I had to support my family, so I couldn't let people look down on me. Usually, I have at least 500 with the family contacts. But this time my brother got married, most of the relatives were 300, and even 50. Less than half of the wedding cost was recovered.
I was really sad, but my brother comforted me in turn, saying that he must get ahead in the future and let those who look down on us see. I think he's right, in this world, if you want to be looked up to, you can only rely on yourself. Self-reliance and self-improvement are the beliefs we should establish.
What do you think about this? How much do you usually give as gifts?
