When families arranged marriages, they were trying their best to guarantee their offspring a pleasant and comfortable life. The bride was expected to bring a "dowry" of money, jewels, animals, or something of substantial value to the marriage. This substantial value was provided by the family of the bride and portrayed her perceived worth .  On the other hand, the groom paid a "brides price" to her family and promised to faithfully support the bride.
So you still have to buy one!
