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!!

I did not look fake at all. I exactly like myself, just more nighttime makeup than I would normally wear. My nails were fake but they were clean looking french manicure.

agree. After seeing grandma walking in on her cane with her oxygen tank and my old aunties with low necklines, DH said if it wasn't our wedding night and he felt "obligated" he wouldn't quite be up to it, lol.

You wedding day is the one day to look perfect. I see nothing wrong with looking your best. YOU are the person that people pay most attention to during the wedding. Why would I want to look like I do everyday. It was our special day and I wanted to look good for myself and my dh.
