That said, we had a couple of hundred folks at the best party I have ever seen, and everyone gave us lovely gifts

I should say that this sums up my wedding as well. Absolutely the most fun I've ever had. I usually hate to dance, but had an enormous amount of fun dancing that night.

Also, about the cash thing - I really agree with Bruno there. People should understand that other cultures do things differently. My wife is Persian, and in that culture it is extremely common to give money to the bride and groom. I just wish we'd gotten money instead of those enormous bowls
