I suppose it might exist in some cultures, but if there are such cultures, I would say that they are relatively small. Ordinarily, a dowry is not part of an American wedding.

In it's purest form, no.
In reality, yes.
Bride's parents are supposed to pay for the wedding. Gifts are expected, ect...
Did I get a dowry when I married my wife?
No, but we got great gifts and 'a little something for the nest-egg'.

Not really....unless you count the tradition that the bride's parents pay for the wedding....which can be a pretty hefty price sometimes, lol.

Sure it does. I got a cow, three chickens and a goat for agreeing to marry my wife.
