You don't know what to do? Ask them! They'll tell you what to do! What to bring,etc! How much cash,how many animals,etc!

But you shall remember the LORD your God,for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth,that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers,as it is this day. Deu 8:18

it's important to say where you are marrying from!!!!.......dowry expectations differ depending on community and family economic status!!!

The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

theres no harm in consulting with the elders on what to do,talk even to the wife to be if she has a big sis she tell you what the dad requires or may be a hint of what is expected

Go with an experienced uncles,especially the evil-looking stingy one.

But seriously I find it time we sobbered up on this issue. Times are tough,why do folks expect so much dowry when the alternative is to use that cash for a mortgage downpayment,education fund for your kids.

And have you ever noticed it's the extended family that usually leeches on that cash. Even Mungiki have joined the gravy train.

Times are hard,I do not mind the idea of dowry as uniting tool but not as a cash cow.
