how is the wedding system there? Interestingly , here you actually pay to go to the wedding but in the west it balances out as you have to buy a present.

Varied, because of the different ethnicities living here. I mean, we have westernized weddings in churches, in city hall, etc. and then you have the Chinese-Asian weddings or Hindu weddings or Muslim ceremonies, etc.

I don't know about having to pay to go to a wedding though... It's not like it was ever mandatory, but you could either give an envelope (with money) or buy a gift for the couple.

I was told that in certain Hindu families, when you gift money the amount and the name of the person who gifted it, will be penned down. At a certain point during the reception all the names and amounts are being read out loud ๐Ÿ™ˆ. Luckily, most have broken with the tradition, but it's still happening. I myself haven't experienced it.

Could be that some couples ask a certain or minimum amount of money as "gift", but hasn't happened in my social circle, so couldn't say with certainty.
