The engagement ring is the man's dowry to the woman. The wedding/reception cost is the woman's dowry to the man. Even though our nationality may be different, we still have a dowry system in place.

But what if she wanted to marry a non-American so that she doesn't have to pay a dowry? OMG the paradox!

Yes, and while you are at it remind your SO that Blu Ray players and HDTVs are separate too.

That's not a dowry, that's a bride-price. Get it straight!

I'm married to an Indian woman, and my wallet suggests otherwise.

The dowry offered by some Indian families for their daughter is vastly different than the traditions we have in America. I wouldn't equate what some American families do with dowry at all.
