Replying to @eigenrobot @selentelechia
I asked my father in law first. He said, "Sure!" Then my wife. She said, "I guess." Finally, I had to negotiate how many boxes of cookies I would buy to give my mother in law.

If you're not familiar, this is a dowry-esque tradition in Taiwan. A family giving away a daughter would announce the news by placing a stack of meat-filled cookies on the business counter. Customers can take one and give congratulations on the happy event.

Anyway, I go into this negotiation thinking I'm being given a set of demands. Meanwhile my mother in law is negotiating. She starts high and expects me to talk her down. But; how many cookies would you buy to secure your darling's hand in marriage?
