That's quite an expensive wedding, not to mention the ring. At least he got some money back through gifts.

So his mother in law received more than the cost of the restaurant.


Wedding in America cost lot of money. Restaurant average about $10,000 but some cost way more. All the guest give money as a gifts about $100 or more per person.

Around $10,000 for a restaurant reception in America is normal, I don't see any problems with that.

However, $7,000 for a diamond ring and $10,000 for dowry is way over the top, but I suppose your brother is wealthy, or he believes that his wife and her parents are deserving of it.

In the U.S $5,000-$10,000 diamond wedding ring is pretty normal too. For the rich is way way more then this. My brother is not rich, but he has a pretty good paying jobs with 4 year college education, and 2 year of Technical college. I'm not a school person I only has two 2 year of Technical college.

$2,000 - $5,000 for a diamond ring is just as beautiful, and $2,000 for dowry is decent for Lao weddings in the West. I know this because I've heard about it.

$26,000 in total for a Lao wedding is classed as a "hi-so" style, because not many people can afford that like your brother.

Yes, we also have a Technical College in Laos.

I suppose it's the equivalent to TAFE in your country, Larb Dip.

What is the tuition to attend? What other programs do they teach? Are technical schools in all major cities (Luang Prabang, Savanakheet, Pakse ....)?

What the hell does the acronym TAFE stand for? Huh

Did you have a higher education, nang? Did you attend College/University or Techinal college or 'TAFE'?

TAFE means "Training and Further Education" according to http://www.tafe.ac.nz

You're from New Zealand, and I'm surprised that you have never heard of TAFE.

It looks like that 'site only caters for potential Real Estate agents or cyber minded intellects.

I'm surprised YOU knew about this. There you go, again. What else are you going to surprise me with? Huh
