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!!

even though I don't play on that team any more I do have to say that I always thought stubble was kind of hot... ;-) ( although as my girlfriend says ...less hot on a woman LOL!)

 

Yes. We. Did.

well that's too bad...that's one reason why people of size feel they have to hide themselves away in this country. I for one think it's fabulous to see someone enjoy themselves and feel confident in themselves no matter what size they are.

I'm not speaking of vacations or any ordinary day. I'm speaking of a wedding day, the most important day in someone's life.

If you receive an invite to a shower at a restaurant, I think the invitee assumes they are not paying for their own meal.

I can embrace the fact that they are happy in their own skin but what I really see is a person in seriously bad health.

Umm, why do you have this insane notion that my hands aren't nice? Have you seen my hands? How do you have any basis on which to judge?

<>

Um, for the third time, NO.

<.

I clip them or file them when they get a ragged spot or tear or whatever. I didn't do any of that specifically for the wedding, or probably even in the couple of days before.

And my nails are the least important thing to that important person. My heart, my brain, my personality ... there are hundreds of things more important to dh than my hands.

And if that man doesn't care? Like I've stated repeatedly he doesn't?
