No, the new screen name will be my real-life nickname. The troll reference will go away, although the behavior likely will not.

Market price, apparently, is 2x pre-wedding income.

not really if u got married in the church they have the ritual wherein the groom gives the coins to his bride which meant that he will give his blessings to his wife

that's the old version, nowadays the groom gives her a credit card.

really? never heard of that coz its suppsoed to be 13 coins so the groom should give the bride 13 cards full oc coins! meaning she doesnt have to work for the rest of her life but still lay down in the bed of roses! very good!

I would be scared to add up how much hubby payed for me...

[natty bumppo 297]

does this mean ... since I didn't purchase my SO ... I don't know the real meaning of being married ?

You have it all wrong. You don't purchase the SO. You only purchase her obedience. And then she gets to strut around about how she 'chose' to obey you and how much of a 'b1tch' that makes her; in reality, she sold her obedience as if it was a commodity.

Market price, apparently, is 2x pre-wedding income.

gotcha ... sorry started to stray a little there ...

so if the going rate is 2x PW income .... wonder what the gross margin will be? and the total cost of ownership for the buyer ?

I was a Financial Analyst & Head of the Billing & Collections Department. My husband asked me to quit my job and promised to support me financially & double my salary instead. The bottomline is: it was because of time zone difference between us. At present, Im just managing my family's hacienda business (sugar cane plantation), while waiting for our visa. Nice thread Wendy. Go-go girl! More power!

For better understanding...

1. She meant that she quitted her job because her husband would support her financially (as he promised her).

2. Her husband sends her financial support which is times two of the amount she was receiving out of working before (guess that is what she meant by double her salary).

3. She is not really idle as of the moment because they have a sugar cane plantation and she is managing it.

double dipping ?

sounds like a bribe ...

I've been to lots of church weddings ... didn't notice the groom buying the bride at the alter.

well u haven't really understood the real meaning of beign married.such a pity

Seriously, the coin giving thing - is it common in church wedding? or only in certain countries/place or certain church? I never notice any of my friend who got married in church did this.

ask MR. GOOGLE so u could get exact answers

or maybe that's the tip.

It is not "buying the wife" or "giving tip"... Exchanging of arrhae or coins is just a symbolic part of the traditional catholic church wedding ceremony ( i am not sure if all catholic people are still practicing it) where as the groom handover the arrhae to his wife as a symbol that he is entrusting the handling/managing of "whatever wealth they would have as a couple" and as a response, the wife would gladly accept the role (wife usually handles the budgets at home regardless of how small or big the amount is) and should promise that she would manage it carefully (budget the money wisely, not to waste it for useless things)...

crazy4papi & candid witch, don't give so much energy with this mind games. It's not worth it, we are more level minded & educated people compared to them. They are just trying to mess up & want this thread to be closed. As you can see to their membership timeline, they are the so-called oldies here in vj & supposed to help newbies and not to castigate but instead it clearly shows the kind of person they are, their growing backwards and we should laugh for pity for this people. To this group who always criticize specifically shape, hbunch, gurl, candid witch & other filipinas. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR TIME TO BE RECOGNIZED YOU MADE OUR IDLE TIME MORE AMUSING! AT LEAST WE ARE ABLE TO PRACTICE OUR REASONING ABILITY / REASONING POWER.

The Wedding Coins (also known as: Arras [ah-rahs] or Arrhae [ar-rah-heh]) have traditionally symbolized the prosperity that would be shared by the new couple, and the groom's promise to provide for the welfare of the new family.

*However, today's couples embrace life & face the world together in a more mutually supportive way than ever before. So, the Wedding Coins have come to symbolize the couple's commitment to mutually contributing to their relationship, their children, and their community.

have you considered the possibility this may be a cultural thing within pi?

given the rise of the canadian dollar against the us dollar in the past year or two, and that you've been married about 3 years now, i'm sure that nowadays you represent a good investment
