For us it was a different story from a different time. One when our grand grandparents lived. When a boy should ask for a girl hand, and needed to prove that he is a good man, worthy of a family. This one was a normal guy, working hard, but every time he would get paid 2 copper coins, he would save one and use one for what he needed. And soon copper turned to silver, and silver turned to gold. In a world where people would rarely see silver, in a small mountain village, when he asked for his beautiful girl's hand, his dad asked if he is worthy, And then, he got his hand in his belt pocket, and got not one, not two, but six gold coins. And they lived hapily ever after. Lesson learned.
