slude,
Yes, you did emphasize
NUTSHELL -

However, bare in the mind, for those who are clueless like most US-Hmong kids, they will think it is equivalent to 18 Xeem's wedding novel. (fyi - I have never seen nor heard of 18 Xeem having a wedding novel, only some unofficial proposals the Hmong community in general have adopted for the most part - specifically the "bride price" and other wedding costs.)
And no one claims to be a "know-it-all", as the Hmong wedding, much like a lot of Hmong customs have idiosyncrasies across the board as some have already noted among the White VS Green groups.
And, yes, I did say this was/is better than nothing.
Lastly, I do not contribute any Hmong insight/customs because most US-Hmong kids could care less thus it is a waste of my time and effort. The only time I contribute is to either clarify, add, or provide further examples, insight, and explanation to help the cause -

just saying ... ua tsaug
