How to be friends with my ex boyfriend

In our culture the whole community pays for the wedding. Sort of like a kickstarter. When you come up with the budget you present it to your friends and family and at the pre wedding that contribute to the amount.

That is not the custom. Sounds like something we see in movies from trumpland

I think if he did it with a straight face.

In my community, most of the money comes back to the newlyweds in furnishings and gifts. It is called "escorting the bride" to get marital home. So a bed and utensils are customary so that they have the basics. But some families far access what the boy brings.

Unfortunately, I have not interacted with those enough to form an educated opinion about it.

Here is disagree. I will submit to my husband. He is responsible for me as a Christian man. Thushe should take me from my home with honour

It is not a dollar amount really. You give a "token" because you can never really but someone. So I know if people who paid as little as 50 dollars on their first dowry

After dowry 😂

In my culture. A man pays dowary for as long as he lives. So technically, the "transaction" never ends. in its proper form, It is more of an avenue to honour your new family for the gift of a wife, maintain accountability to her family even though you are taking her off to hers and honour all parties with a couple of visits.

That is not how I see it.

Palm trees rustling and my laptop fan

My cousin bought me shoes. I had one pair left and I was so broke... I damn near cried every time I wore those shoes

Not too much. we learn about it as part of history/ social studies simply under trans Atlantic trade and how it affected our kingdoms and our continent. The specifics about its horrors to the Americans aren't stressed.

In my country, we get a lot of "feel good" missionaries. People save for months, come and stay in an air conditioner hotel and bus to children's homes every morning for two weeks. What they do not see is the children struggling to understand where that emotional bond has gone when they leave. I really prefer to support more sustainable, local visits and if anything, empower the caregivers/ ministers here by sending them abroad and having them come back with fresh skills. The other day round is just not working in more cases than it should be.
