Ok, with all the wedding talk and what to give for gifts, I am NOW, after going to weddings for almost 20 years-lol! invited to an outdoor wedding in someone's home.
Here is the scenario:
Bride and Groom (she 22, he 36)
Living together for over 3 years
Groom-12 year old son
Bride and Groom-have a 3 year old and she is due with their 2nd in August
Wedding:
At her mother's house-catered food from restaurant

I know in other posts I said I would probably give the same as a sit down reception but we were orally invited to this wedding so I assume they are doing this just to get married before the 2nd child arrives. I have NO clue now what to do about a gift-lol!!

Well, I'd have to ask but I think he was elated that at that moment I was his wife. I can guarantee he didn't care whether my nails had a french manicure or not. My nails were probably the furthest thing from his mind.

Okay, so the poster that said I can't speak universally can accuse everyone else of that also, lol

Ummm, how in the heck is that selfish? I wanted it too.

*still scratching her head at why a husband having the hots for his wife is selfish*

We do. Speaking in generalities or universally for others is something that poster are called out for all the time on this board. Been that way for years.

I'd feel self-conscious to present my hand with my ragged cuticles and calcium spots on them.
