This is the second time I laughed out loud reading your posts. The first was when you began the post saying, "If you are too lazy to read then please read the bold text." Now this one I laugh because it is so true.
In the past in America the bride and bridegroom would register at a department store and there they had their own "wish list" and family and friends would get a chance to buy the things on the "wish list". The problem was the family who got to the department store late found only a few items left on the wish list like washing machine and refrigerator when the people who came first bought the pots and pans.
In Korea weddings are much more serious business. Traditionally the bridegroom's family will provide a house and the bride's family will provide the furnishings. The guests of the wedding will offer cash in an envelope and the family will keep record. There is a lot of pressure in a wedding invitation in Korea. It is at the point now that a lot of guests just come and give the envelope of cash and leave because they are busy. If they don't give the cash present there are family problems to follow.
Rural weddings used to go on for several days with celebration but today's weddings can be rushed and business like.
About gifts... well honestly @amiramnoam if you liked the vacuum then try giving one of those robot vacuums. I don't know your price range but they start around 200 dollars.
