Gifts presented by the groom’s family to the bride’s family during a betrothal ceremony, as part of pre-wedding customs. In Asian cultures, the gifts serve as a token of appreciation to the bride’s family for raising their daughter, and a show of the groom’s sincerity in marrying her. Betrothal gifts typically have symbolic and auspicious meanings associated to them, and may include food items, tea, jewellery and bride price.
