(i don't plan on leaving but I am getting busier and busier so i'm becoming less active then I used to be. Y'know, life is taking over. And having to adult means i can't just spend as much time on here. lol I would miss y'all tho if I left)

(That's backwards tho. Originally the BRIDE's family got paid the dowry. Not the other way around. And I definitely plan on being a bride 😂)
(I don't know how to post screenshots but here is a direct quote from the website I saw
"Paying a dowry (i.e. a payment of money or property from the family of the bride to the family of the groom at the time of marriage) is an ancient custom that is still being practiced in many countries and by many communities in the world. Originally, dowries were paid to the bride or the bride's family, not the other way around! The original purpose of a dowry was to compensate the bride’s family for the loss of her labor and her reproductive potential. Somewhere before the start of the Ancient Roman period, the custom became reversed, so that the bride's family had to give a dowry to the husband’s kin.")
