Together with my mom-in-law, hubby, sis-in-law and her boyfriend, we went to Chinatown to procure our things need for Guo Da Li. My MIL had went racky around the shops selling bridal stuff in Chinatown a few weeks before.
The dowry is one of the main category of stuff to buy for the bride's side. Dowry are the things which the bride's family give to bride for her new life at her new home. This is usually given together with the return gifts for the groom's family.
Apart from the dowry, the groom family need to buy dragon and phoenix candles and a basket to carry the betrothal things like 2 bottles of liqour, bride price, oranges, 4 types of gold (si dian jin). These things are needed to to be brought over to bride's home during betrothal. I did not manage to take photos of the things bought by the groom's family to show here.
We went to a bridal shop called K.K Marriage Goods located at Chinatown Complex. These are things which I had bought for my dowry.
Bathtub, towels (2 sets), mugs (replacing brushing teeth tumbler), ornament symbolising spitoon and basin.
2 sets of plates, bowls, chopsticks and spoon
A pair of bedside lamp
Tea Set
All these things above will be passed to the groom's family. Other things like 2 bottles of orange juice will be returned to the groom too.
Below are the item which the bride will use during her wedding day.
Bedroon slippers
2 sets of fan
1 red umbrella
