                Notes

    In former times, the property that a bride brought with her to
marriage was called her dowry. It was believed that a substantial dowry
would enhance the bride's position as a spouse 1, strengthen
inter-family ties, and serve as a financial base for the newlyweds.
Although dowries are no longer common in most of the societies now, the
bride's parents often pay the wedding expenses.

    In traditional Eskimo culture, wedding is no more than the actual
moving of bride and groom 3 into the same household. In most societies,
however, weddings are usually marked by celebrations, which in a way
function as a public statement that certain marriages have been
concluded.
