It seems to be the times of total deficit in the past. Buy bed linen, dozen plates and a couple of blankets is no difficulty. So why our senior sisters, moms and grandmothers still strive to strain on the men's "cute towels" and an ugly service, calling them with the oppusant "dowry"?
It seems to us something instinctive. Well, here is an instinct of self-preservation, Maternal instinct, and there is still an instinct of gathering dowry for a girl. And it is impossible to do anything with him. The most funny thing is that our sisters, aunt, moms (and grandmothers) themselves once fell victim to this almost medieval ritual. And that's what they tell.
- Well, when I was preparing in the bride, I had as many as 2,000 rubles, several kitchen towels with watermelons and cherries, a few bath towels (Indian) and a couple of bed linen sets. I was like a rigor. True, in 91, 2000 rubles turned into a fur coat of artificial Cheburashka for more larger. And the towels used long. One preserved until now.
- Two heavy suitcase sheets, duvet covers and blankets. Most of the progressively spent waiting for the narrowed. Durable, alas, never appeared. Probably, the color is not so! Not enough cheerful. "
- Draw? And what about! The kitchenware-Belishko's bedding bedding, curtains, curtains, coat coat, garden plot 6 acres - die on them with young! And there was no place to live. So dull with blankets and curtains for removable apartments for ten years.
- My mother in the dowry collected for some reason exclusively towels. Kitchen. Many a lot of kitchen towels. So much that you open the closet - and the dowry on you is flying on top. Type, remember marriage, daughter.
- AAA, I have in except for towels and other panties jackets was! In the profit of ensigns, judging by the quantity and size.
- The most terrible element of my dowry was a big picture with a scenery mowing. Butter. Canvas. Neither the feature is not clear. Some baskerville swamps. Despite the protests, after the wedding, the parents shoved the picture into our removable apartment and categorically demanded that it would be sure to hang on the wall. The former husband then carried it into the yard and burned ...
- No dowry. At all. But when I was about 6-7 years old, I removed the white curtain with a shaggy tassels on the bottom, tied the upper part of the knot, put on my head, looked at myself in the mirror and hoped that the curtain would live to my 18 years - because the veil from She was completely wondering. Did not live
- And I had an apartment in my dowry, two cats and a coffee tree. Itself, by the way, prepared. All, including cats.
- Books on radio engineering150 shelves, another 50 shelves of books on yacht construction. Bride with fantasy.
- Radio engineering is a fantasy. Here I had Lenin V.I assembly. Full composition of writings. Interesting from my parents were ideas about my future husband.
- Until now, the "dowry" - bras are fashionable in 70s. Parents promised me that the breast would grow to the wedding, and I can wear them. Already gray hair is. The deadline for marriage stopped stopped, the child goes to school, and there was no chest, and there is no ... and fashionable bras are still waiting for their own hours ...
- My parents at the wedding concisely stated the bridegroom: "Here is our daughter. For her in the dowry - a red diploma of higher education and the ability to cook borsch. " But technically prepared grandmothers saved the situation with a carpet and a cotton blanket with two pillows.
- I have one silver spoon and one gilded !! I am almost a decent girl! :)
Not only girls suffer. Here you have a list of the boyfriend:
one. Sheepskin Tulup with three different buttons and a piled up with a plug-in (as a challenge of fashionable then sucks).
